Within the forum a Bulgarian company reached an agreement to export 500 tons of tobacco to Jordan, memorandums on cooperation were signed by the Haskovo Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Amman Chamber of Commerce and the Jordan- Europe Business Association.  An agreement was also reached to sign a Memorandum on cooperation between Sofia Tech Park and the SESAME research center in Jordan.

The Head of State told the participants in the forum that Bulgaria can provide an excellent opportunity for the access of Jordanian companies to the European market of 500 million people, and our country considers Jordan a promising partner in expanding the Bulgarian export to the Middle East region. In Rumen Radev’s words, not only Bulgaria, but also the other EU member states highly appreciate the fact that the Kingdom of Jordan has strengthened its position as a regional factor of stability.
