He also called for intensifying meetings and exchanging "promising" investment opportunities among the two countries' businesspeople and the private sector.

To boost economic collaboration, Tabbaa stressed the importance of developing trade exchange mechanisms and mutual regulatory legislation to contribute to increase volume of trade exchange and joint investments.

The Cyprus ambassador welcomed establishment of the joint council, which would contribute to strengthening the Jordanian-Cypriot business people's economic, trade and investment ties and support the two countries' private sector cooperation.

The diplomat noted Jordan has "promising" investment opportunities in numerous economic sectors, mainly in the pharmaceutical, food, real estate, contracting and information technology sectors.
