Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - Minister of Municipalities Walid Al-Masri and Minister of Industry and Trade Yarub Al-Qudah on Tuesday met with representatives of the chambers of industry and commerce and members of the Jordan Truck Owners and Custom Clearance Associations to discuss arrangements for the entry of Jordanian trucks to Iraq.

They agreed to organise the crossing of Jordanian trucks to Iraq and arrange it with the concerned Jordanian and Iraqi authorities, as well as discussing a cabinet decision on the minimum wage for the trucking sector.

The transport minister stressed on the need for the Transport Regulatory Commission (TRC) to issue a bulletin of transport fares between Amman and the Kingdom's various governorates.

TRC Director General, Salah Laozi, said the entry of Jordanian trucks to Iraq was the culmination of relentless government efforts and is the first step to revive transport as a lifeline of all other sectors.
