ACC delegation aims to enhance economic ties with Istanbul

AMMAN — A delegation representing the board of directors of the Amman Chamber of Commerce (ACC) on Monday started a working visit to Turkey with the aim of enhancing economic ties.

ACC President Khalil Hajj Tawfiq said that the delegates, whose visit will last until Friday, are scheduled to meet their peers at the Istanbul Chamber of Commerce (ICC) to have a firsthand look at its experiments in business development.

The delegates will also discuss the possibility of organising a Jordanian week in Istanbul during the first quarter of 2020 to acquaint Turkish investors with available opportunities in the Kingdom.

The ICC was founded in 1882 and includes some 420,000 member companies, including 627 Jordanian firms. Jordan’s exports to Turkey in 2018 amounted to JD58 million, compared with JD584 million in Turkish exports to the Kingdom.
