According to Jordan News Agency, Jasser highlighted in media statements that the project aims to enhance regional integration and boost trade, contributing to the development of a sustainable land transport network across the region. The railway link is anticipated to provide a significant boost to economic activities and facilitate better connectivity among the participating countries.
