AMMAN — Prime Minister Abdullah Ensour on Saturday stressed the importance of Germany’s support for Jordan.

Speaking at the meeting, German Ambassador Ralph Tarraf highlighted investment areas that Germany can contribute to in Jordan, especially renewable energy, food industries, small- and medium-sized enterprises and pharmaceuticals.

He also stressed that Jordan should increase its exports to Germany, adding that the Kingdom has promising industries but the related expertise and skills need further development.
