Amman, July 8 (Petra) – A delegation from the Jordanian Construction Contractors Association (JCCA) discussed in Damascus with the Syrian Construction Contractors Syndicate, ways to enhance joint cooperation and raise level of professional relations.

According to a JCCA statement issued on Tuesday, the meeting discussed mechanisms for opening a permanent liaison office for the association at the Syrian syndicate's headquarters in Damascus.

The statement added that this step will serve interests of Jordanian contractors wishing to work in the Syrian market and contribute to facilitate professional contact, exchange expertise, and implement joint projects.

The JCCA Secretary, Dr. Anas Qrum, said the office complements the efforts launched by the association's head, Fouad Duwairi, during his previous visit to Damascus.

Qurm said the previous talks called for integrating the two countries' construction sectors and removing obstacles facing Jordanian contractors engaged in Syria's reconstruction projects.

Qrum noted the JCCA's liaison office in Damascus will represent a "practical" move, which reflects the two sides' "strong" relations.

Noting its "positive" impact on organizing business, he said the office will also provide a database and accurate information for Jordanian contractors, and directly represent them in the Syrian market, especially given the government's commitment to contribute to Syria's reconstruction.

On its long-term vision, Qrum stated the JCCA places "remarkable" importance on expanding its members' work horizons, especially amid the available opportunities in the Syrian market, which would serve both Jordanian and Syrian contractors and strengthen their partnerships.
