The Jordanian Businessmen Association (JBA) organized a visit to the Jordanian-Syrian Joint Free Zone , with several Jordanian businessmen in attendance.

The visit aimed to assess the investment environment and explore opportunities within the zone, focusing on maximizing the Jordanian private sector’s benefits from investment flows and trade exchange between Jordan and Syria.

Hamdi Tabbaa, President of the JBA, emphasized the zone’s strategic role in facilitating trade between the two countries, accelerating transportation and shipping operations, stimulating cross-border trade, and fostering industrial integration.

He highlighted the zone’s importance in attracting diverse industries and investors, which contributes to diversifying the national economies of both nations.
