The Jordanian Businessmen Association (JBA) said Saturday the Kingdom’s business community looks forward to attracting more French investments, especially in education, information technology and health sectors.
During a meeting this morning with French ambassador Alexis Le Cour Grandmaison, JBA President Hamdi Tabbaa said Jordanian-French trade relations have grown in recent years, referring to France as a key trading partner in Europe and Jordan is a gateway for French companies looking to expand in the Middle East and North Africa.
