At the opening of the Jordanian-UAE Economic Forum in Amman, Jordan's Minister of Industry and Trade Maha Ali said the potential remains huge for increasing the trade exchange between the two countries and attracting further investments into the Kingdom.
The minister added that the UAE currently has investments in the areas of agriculture, industry, tourism and energy in Jordan.
She added that about 22 percent of Jordan's investments abroad are located in the UAE at a total value of 1 billion U.S. dollars.
