Ammon News - A Jordanian commercial and service delegation is taking part in the 28th Arab-German Business Forum, currently underway in Berlin under the banner "Transforming Business: Synergies for Sustainable Progress."

The two-day event brings together decision-makers, business leaders, and experts from across the Arab world and Germany to explore opportunities for deeper economic cooperation.

Organized by the Arab-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry, in collaboration with the Union of Arab Chambers, the German Chambers of Commerce and Industry, and the Council of Arab Ambassadors in Germany, the forum is held under the auspices of Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action.

In a statement released Wednesday, the Jordan Chamber of Commerce (JCC) emphasized the forum’s role as a key platform for fostering dialogue and building partnerships between Arab and German businesses. The event covers forward-looking themes such as smart city development, AI-driven economic diversification, innovation zones, logistics strategy, aviation, and sustainable solutions in food, water, and energy.

Khalil Al-Haj Tawfiq, JCC President, underscored the importance of strengthening ties with Germany, highlighting the value of direct engagement between the public and private sectors to boost joint development efforts and establish long-term partnerships.

He noted that trade between Germany and Arab countries reached €62 billion in 2023, up from €51 billion in 2022, despite ongoing global challenges.

Jordan, he said, is keen to expand its commercial footprint in the German market, particularly in high-potential sectors such as apparel and pharmaceuticals, where Jordan’s growing manufacturing capabilities meet European quality standards.

Al-Haj Tawfiq also highlighted the active role of the Arab-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry, one of the strongest Arab-foreign joint chambers since its founding in 1976. He currently serves as its third vice president, a position he was elected to last year. Petra
