Amman, Sept. 7 (Petra) -- The Amman-based Arab World Freight Alliance (AWFA) will hold its first conference later this month, with 100 companies from 18 Arab countries taking part in what organizers called a key step toward building an integrated Arab transport and logistics network.

The conference will see the launch of the first Jordanian-Arab platform to boost cooperation and partnerships among companies and institutions in freight, customs clearance and logistics across Jordan and the Arab world, helping develop trade movement and supply chains and link Arab and global markets, AWFA chairman Odeh Ramahi said in a statement on Monday.

The platform, he said, aims to bring together various players in the logistics sector under one umbrella, opening new opportunities for members to collaborate commercially, exchange expertise, build partnerships and improve the efficiency of logistics operations through an integrated Arab and international network.

Ramahi said Jordan's choice to launch the AWFA and its first Arab platform for freight, customs clearance and logistics services underlines the kingdom's status as a hub linking Arab markets and supporting regional trade, transport and logistics.
