Today, Jordan signed with Egypt a memorandum of understanding to strengthen cooperation in the areas of industrial integration between Egypt, Jordan and Iraq.

As part of the visit of Jordanian Crown Prince Hussein bin Abdullah II to the Arab Republic of Egypt, Jordanian Minister of Industry, Trade and Supply Yusuf North and Egyptian Minister of Trade and Industry Nevin Jama signed a memorandum of understanding to strengthen cooperation in the areas of industrial integration between Jordan, Egypt and Iraq. The agreement will be signed from the Iraqi side in the coming period.

Northern Yusuf stressed Jordan's desire to strengthen joint cooperation with Egypt, given the distinct relations between the two countries. The visit of His Serene Highness the Crown Prince was part of the strengthening of cooperation between Jordan and Egypt and was a prelude to the beginning of a new phase of economic integration.

The signing of the Convention was based on the outcome of the tripartite summit held in Jordan last year, which emphasized the importance of implementing a package of cooperation projects between the three States, as well as strengthening partnership and deepening coordination, cooperation and joint strategic integration.
