President Sheikh Mohamed meets Jordan's King Abdullah II on working visit



President Sheikh Mohamed arrived in Jordan on Sunday to begin a working visit.

He was greeted at Marka Airport in Amman by King Abdullah II and Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II.

A meeting took place during an official reception at Basman Palace in Amman, where the leaders discussed a number of regional and international issues, particularly the situation in the Middle East, including developments in Gaza and Lebanon.

Also on the agenda was co-operation in areas such as the economy, investment, sustainable development, food security, renewable energy, and other key sectors.

They also highlighted the significance of the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement, which was signed during the visit.

This agreement, they said, was a natural progression of the two nations’ long-standing history of fruitful economic relations and provides a solid foundation for expanding opportunities in the future, Wam reported.

Last month, the UAE signed four agreements with Jordan for a $2.3 billion railway investment project that will link the port of Aqaba with the mining regions of Al Shidiya and Ghor es-Safi.

This is part of the investment package worth approximately $5.5 billion that Jordan signed with the Emirates in November during the state visit of King Abdullah II to Abu Dhabi.
