AMMAN, Sept. 12 (Petra) – Chairman of the Jordan Industrial Estates Corporation (JIEC), Obeid Ahmad Yassin, held high-level discussions with a delegation of Russian business leaders, investors, and corporate representatives to explore avenues for deepening bilateral industrial and investment cooperation.

During the talks, Yassin outlined lucrative investment opportunities across the Kingdom, highlighting the competitive incentives offered within Jordan's industrial estates. The discussions focused on establishing joint industrial ventures and leveraging the Kingdom's strategic positioning as a regional trade gateway and export hub.

The engagement coincided with the joint Jordanian-Russian Governmental Committee sessions for economic and trade cooperation held in Moscow. On the sidelines, Yassin, alongside Secretary-General of the Ministry of Industry and Trade and Supply Dana Al-Zoubi and Director General of Jordan Customs Department Ahmad Al-Akalik, conducted a field visit to the Skolkovo Innovation Center in Moscow.
