AMMAN — Minister of Industry and Trade Yarub Qudah said on Wednesday that Jordan expects to resume exports to Syria early next week.

Exports through the Jaber-Nasib border crossing and the Jordanian-Syrian Free Zone are set to resume soon, depending on the readiness of the Syrian side, the minister added.

Qudah stressed that the decision pertains solely to the export of goods via the truck-to-truck delivery system at the border, noting that it does not involve the reopening of the border for the movement of people, according to the Jordan News Agency, Petra.

Interior Minister on Friday ordered the closure of the crossing due to security concerns in southern Syria, though exceptions were made to allow Jordanian citizens and Jordanian trucks to return to the Kingdom.
