Jordanian businessmen in the private sector are currently working to break the ice between Amman and Damascus to reopen the two border crossings, namely the Nassib and Ramtha crossings, which the Jordanian side officially closed in 2015 after Free Syrian Army (FSA) factions took control of them on the Syrian side.
Head of the Jordan Chamber of Commerce Nael al-Kabariti told Al-Monitor that around 100 Jordanian figures in the economic and industrial sectors have decided to partake in the Damascus International Fair, due to start in mid-September. The Damascus International Fair in Syria is an international exhibition that has been held annually in Damascus since 1954. Participating countries introduce their industrial, commercial, business and economic activities.
