According to a Ministry statement, the two sides underscored the depth of historical relations between Jordan and Uzbekistan and stressed the importance of building upon them to broaden cooperation in various sectors, especially non-traditional ones, to diversify trade partnerships and strengthen private sector ties in both countries. The two ministers agreed to establish a joint committee to explore cooperation opportunities, coordinate efforts, and follow up on joint projects. Qudah highlighted Jordan's investment advantages, its access to regional and international markets, and its potential role as a gateway for the reconstruction of Syria and the expansion into regional markets, supported by bilateral and multilateral free trade agreements. He pointed to prospects in pharmaceuticals, clothing and textiles, exports to the US market, and industrial integration in extractive industries such as phosphates, potash, and fertilizers, as well as tourism, sports, digital services, and video game development. He stressed the need to pursue rapid gains through integrated projects, particularly in clothing, jewelry, and fertilizers, leveraging the industrial base and natural resources of both countries.

Hazelnut prices soar after frost hits major producer Türkiye
Ammon News - Wholesale hazelnut prices in Türkiye have surged this harvest season due to frost damage, the world's leading producer, where the crop yields are expected to shrink this year. In April, a cold snap, unseen in years, affected a variety of domestically produced crops, pushing hazelnut prices higher even before the harvest began. Agriculture Minister Ibrahim Yumaklı called it one of the worst agricultural frosts in the country's history. Experts have attributed it to climate change, which they claim is increasing the frequency of extreme weather events, as the underlying cause. According to the Amsterdam-based commodity data platform Vesper BV, a metric ton of Turkish hazelnuts now costs around 9,400 euros ($10,900), an increase of roughly 34% since the start of the year, Vesper told Deutche Presse-Agentur (dpa).

Ammon News - Minister of Investment Tariq Abu Ghazaleh on Monday held talks with a ministerial delegation from the Republic of Uzbekistan, headed by Minister of Investment, Industry and Trade Laziz Kudratov, on enhancing relations and advancing economic and investment cooperation. Abu Ghazaleh underscored Jordan's pride in its ties with Uzbekistan, highlighting the untapped potential for collaboration in priority sectors, including information technology, tourism, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, mining, textiles, and public-private partnership projects. He detailed that trade exchange between the two countries amounted to $6.9 million in 2024, with Jordan exporting pharmaceuticals, machinery, and chemical products, and importing copper, fruits, nuts, and cocoa products. He noted both sides' aspiration to substantially increase this trade volume in the coming years. The minister pointed out that Jordan and Uzbekistan signed an economic and trade cooperation agreement in 1996, while negotiations on a bilateral investment promotion and protection agreement are nearing completion. He also presented Jordan's Economic Modernization Vision, which targets attracting over JD41 billion in investments, supported by pro-investment legislation, particularly the 2022 Investment Environment Law, ensuring equal treatment for investors, safeguarding their rights, and offering incentives for projects with high employment, export capacity, and innovation. Abu Ghazaleh stressed that Jordan's economic resilience stems from structural reforms, including the establishment of the Ministry of Investment as the central body for investor services. He invited Uzbek companies to leverage Jordan's strategic location, extensive network of free trade agreements, and investment prospects in sectors such as water desalination, transportation, education, and the digital economy. He further emphasized Jordan's role as a regional logistical and industrial hub for reconstruction efforts, advocating for partnerships that generate sustainable benefits for both nations.
