The Jordanian Businessmen Association, in collaboration with the Indian Embassy, organized a seminar on Wednesday to explore opportunities for economic, trade, and investment cooperation between Jordan and India, with the participation of business representatives from both countries.
Ayman Alawneh, a board member of the association, underscored the longstanding and historic ties between Jordan and India, noting the continuous growth of economic, trade, and investment relations. He highlighted the association’s commitment to strengthening these relations by fostering agreements that enhance collaboration between the business communities of both nations. He also pointed to the establishment of the Jordanian-Indian Business Council in 2023 as a step toward institutionalizing economic cooperation.
Alawneh emphasized the need for sustained coordination between the Jordanian and Indian private sectors to attract further Indian investments into key economic areas in Jordan, particularly tourism, energy, education, and information technology. He noted that Indian investments in the Kingdom are already concentrated in the phosphate, textile, healthcare, and education sectors.
Officials from the Indian Embassy outlined major investment opportunities in India across various economic and development sectors, highlighting the advantages of India’s investment environment.
The seminar also noted that more than 18,000 Indian workers are employed in Jordan across industries such as textiles, real estate, manufacturing, healthcare, education, and information technology.
