Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - Prime Minister Abdullah Ensour met on Monday with representatives of companies taking part in the China Products Fair, which opened in Amman yesterday.

At the meeting, attended by Minister of Industry and Trade and Supply Hatim Halawani and China's Ambassador to Jordan Gao Yusheng, Ensour welcomed the fact that the fair was being held in Jordan for the eleventh time.

Ensour said the last visit of His Majesty King Abdullah II to China contributed towards further boosting relations between the two countries and opening new horizons for bilateral economic and trade cooperation.

Jordan, he said, is a secure and stable country and has a high level of literacy, stressing the need to increase cooperation between the private sector and businessmen of both the countries.

The first phase of the fair, which runs until Wednesday, is exhibiting industrial machines, products and equipment related to renewable energy and food production, while during the second phase, slated for 15-18 September, a host of other items, mainly household appliances and auto parts, will be on display.
