Jordan’s Minister of Industry and Trade Ya’rob Al-Qudah stated today that his country is currently in talks with Syria to reactivate the joint bilateral trade agreement.

The Kingdom TV channel quoted Al-Qudah as saying in a statement that Jordan is discussing transit fees with the Syrian side to ease the burden on exporters.

He also mentioned ongoing communication with Syria and Turkey regarding the Bab al-Hawa crossing, expressing hope for its reopening in the near future.

It is noteworthy that the General Assembly of the Syrian-Jordanian Free Zone Company discussed, during its meeting in Amman earlier this month, the operational mechanisms of the free zone shared between the two countries and the necessary arrangements to strengthen and enhance its operations.
