Jordan, Belgian-Luxembourg Chambers Of Commerce Talk Cooperation


(MENAFN- Jordan Times) AMMAN - President of Jordan and Amman Chambers of Commerce Khalil Haj Tawfiq met Monday with Secretary-General of Arab-Belgian-Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce (ABLCC) Qaisar Hijazin to discuss prospects of expanding economic and trade cooperation between Jordan, Belgium and Luxembourg.

The meeting, held at the Amman Chamber of Commerce (ACC), focused on linking business communities in the three countries and building private-sector partnerships (PPPs).

Tawfiq invited Belgian and Luxembourg investors, companies and financial institutions to take part in the Jordan-EU Investment Conference on Nov. 19 at the Dead Sea under the patronage of His Majesty King Abdullah with the participation of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

He said the conference is an "exceptional" opportunity to showcase investment prospects in Jordan's priority sectors and deepen economic ties with the European Union, and help expand the presence of Jordanian products and services in European markets.

The two sides agreed that the Jordan Chamber of Commerce (JCC) will host a Belgian business delegation attending the conference, arranging direct meetings and bilateral sessions between Jordanian and Belgian companies based on shared sectors of interest.

Tawfiq pointed out to the importance of taking advantage of the network between the Arab-Belgian Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce and its location in Brussels, as well as the "Euro-Arab Market Access Platform", to help Jordanian companies learn about European legislation, specifications and requirements, enhance their ability to access EU markets and expand their export base.

Hijazin said the market access platform, launched by the chamber, supports Arab companies, including Jordanian firms, in accessing EU markets by providing information and guidance on European legislation, standards and regulatory requirements.

He noted the market access platform as a practical tool for boosting export readiness, particularly among Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), while identifying obstacles to market access. He also pointed out to the "growing" economic opportunities in Syria and Lebanon, saying reconstruction efforts there would open broad prospects for trade and investment.

He said Jordan's geographic location, stability, infrastructure and sectorial expertise position it as a regional hub for European companies seeking access to reconstruction projects and regional markets.

The ABLCC, founded in 1978 and based in Brussels, has spent more than 45 years fostering economic, trade and investment ties between Arab countries, Belgium and Luxembourg, linking business communities and facilitating communication between companies, while providing information and services related to markets and trade and investment opportunities.
