Jordan participates in 28th Arab-German Business Forum in Berlin
AMMAN — A Jordanian commercial and service delegation is taking part in the 28th Arab-German Business Forum, currently underway in Berlin under the theme "Transforming Business: Synergies for Sustainable Progress."
The two-day event brings together decision-makers, business leaders and experts from across the Arab world and Germany to explore opportunities for "deeper" economic cooperation, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported on Wednesday.
Organised by the Arab-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry, in collaboration with the Union of Arab Chambers, the German Chambers of Commerce and Industry, and the Council of Arab Ambassadors in Germany, the forum is held under the auspices of Germany's Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action.
In a statement released on Wednesday, the Jordan Chamber of Commerce (JCC) stressed the forum's role as a "key" platform for fostering dialogue and building partnerships between Arab and German businesses.
The event covers "forward-looking" themes such as smart city development, AI-driven economic diversification, innovation zones, logistics strategy, aviation and sustainable solutions in food, water, and energy.
JCC President Khalil Haj Tawfiq underscored the importance of boosting ties with Germany, highlighting the value of direct engagement between the public and private sectors to enhance joint development efforts and establish long-term partnerships.
He noted that trade between Germany and Arab countries reached 62 billion euros in 2023, up from 51 billion euros in 2022, despite ongoing global challenges.
Hajj Tawfiq said that Jordan is keen to expand its commercial presence in the German market, particularly in high-potential sectors such as apparel and pharmaceuticals, where Jordan's "growing" manufacturing capabilities meet European quality standards.
He also highlighted the "active" role of the Arab-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry, one of the "strongest" Arab-foreign joint chambers since its founding in 1976.

Lufthansa to resume flights to Tel Aviv from June 23
Germany's Lufthansa airline group said Friday it would restart flights to and from Tel Aviv on June 23, having suspended them early last month amid the ongoing regional conflict. The group said in a statement that the decision would affect Lufthansa, Austrian, SWISS, Brussels Airlines Eurowings, ITA and Lufthansa Cargo but that "for operational reasons", the individual airlines would only resume services "gradually". "The decision is based on an extensive security analysis and in coordination with the relevant authorities," it added. May 4 rocket attack launched by Yemen's Houthi rebels, and extended the suspension several times since. The missile landed near a car park at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion International Airport and injured six people, the first time a missile had penetrated the airport perimeter. The Houthis have repeatedly launched missiles and drones at Israel since the war in Gaza began in October 2023 with Palestinian militant group Hamas's attack on Israel. The Houthis, who say they are acting in solidarity with Palestinians, paused their attacks during a two-month Gaza ceasefire that ended in March, but began again after Israel resumed its military campaign in the territory. The Israeli army has reported several such launches in recent days, with most of the projectiles being intercepted.

Michael Jordan's 23XI Racing charter in jeopardy after court ruling
A United States appeals court on Thursday vacated a preliminary injunction that allowed Michael Jordan's 23XI Racing and another NASCAR team to be treated as chartered teams, putting the teams' futures in NASCAR in question. 23XI Racing -- whose owners include Jordan and NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin -- and Front Row Motorsports refused to sign a take-it-or-leave-it charter agreement NASCAR presented in September, while the other 13 organizations in the Cup Series proceeded to sign. The two holdouts filed an antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR the following month. In December, U.S. District Judge Kenneth D. Bell granted the teams' request for a preliminary injunction to be recognized as chartered teams while their lawsuit was active. NASCAR slammed that decision and brought an appeal to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va. On Thursday, a three-judge panel unanimously ruled in NASCAR's favor and vacated the preliminary injunction. "In short, because we have found no support for the proposition that a business entity or person violates the antitrust laws by requiring a prospective participant to give a release for past conduct as a condition for doing business, we cannot conclude that the plaintiffs made a clear showing that they were likely to succeed on the merits of that theory," the decision read in part. "And without satisfaction of the likelihood-of-success element, the plaintiffs were not entitled to a preliminary injunction. ... We therefore conclude that the district court abused its discretion in entering the preliminary injunction that it did." 23XI Racing and Front Row are still allowed to compete in the Cup Series, but having charter status guarantees them automatic spots in races and they would earn more money with a charter than as "open" teams. An open team must qualify their way into each race. They can also file for a petition for rehearing. Reuters
