Committee considers organising, administering exhibitions

AMMAN — The committee tasked with studying the establishment of a company to organise and administer exhibitions in the Kingdom in cooperation with the private sector exchanged views on the company's work mechanism, the Jordan Investment Commission (JIC) said Saturday.

JIC President Thabet Al Wir, who chaired the meeting, said the gathering discussed Jordan Chamber of Industry's demands to allocate a 100-dunum plot of land from the Treasury to establish a comprehensive city for exhibitions as followed in many countries. He also noted the JIC will take into consideration selecting a land serviced by infrastructure and easily accessible to guarantee the success of the project.

Wir said added that providing a land for fairs is an important strategic project that helps attract investments and promote national products, noting that JIC will cooperate with the private sector on the issue, especially that the Investment Law allows the commission to transfer some tasks to private institutions.
