Saudi Arabia, Jordan strengthen ties with energy, mining deals
Saudi Arabia is now a major investor in Jordan.
Saudi Arabian and Jordanian companies signed numerous cooperation agreements on June 21.
The Federation of Saudi Chambers and the Amman Chamber of Commerce held a business convention in the Jordanian capital, Amman. Companies in the mining, construction, atomic energy, imports and exports, and other sectors signed cooperation deals, the state-owned Jordan Times reported.
Jordan's and Saudi Arabia’s anti-corruption watchdogs also signed a memorandum of understanding on joint efforts to fight corruption, according to Jordan’s official news agency Petra.
The deals came during Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s visit to Amman. The de-facto Saudi leader also traveled to Egypt earlier this week.
