Ammon News - Deputizing for Prime Minister, Minister of Industry, Trade and Supply, Yousef Shamali, on Thursday inaugurated activities of the 20th Amman International Summer Shopping, which is held at Jordan Exhibition and Convention Center in Mecca Mall in the capital, Amman.

The 10-day festival, which is organized by the International Promoters Co (IPCo), will see participation of local industrial representatives and companies from Palestine, Iran and Pakistan.

The festival, which opens daily from 3:pm until 11:pm, features multiple exhibits, especially food industries, furniture, clothing, accessories, and chemical products, "detergents", and antiques.

According to the general manager of IPCo, Raed Abu Saada, entry to the festival will be free of charge, adding that direct sales services will be provided and the event will present gifts and feature competitions and entertainment activities for children.

The festival is viewed an important local shopping and entertainment exhibition, as it provides an opportunity for citizens, Arabs, expatriates and tourists, to get acquainted with development, prosperity and competitiveness of the Jordanian industry, he noted.

The festival, he said, will allow business owners invited from abroad to meet with factory owners and traders to see their products, establish commercial partnerships and open new export markets.

These events contribute to promoting local industry, the Kingdom's business and investment environment, as well as strengthening Jordan's role as a "distinguished" destination for family tourism, especially from the Arab Gulf countries due to its security and stability, Abu Saada said.
