Advisor at the Iraqi Trade Ministry Kathim Al Hussni voiced keenness to boost trade and economic ties between Jordan and Iraq and urged the Jordanian private sector to take part in mega projects that will be carried out in Iraqi.
During the meetings, the two sides are expected to sign agreements in the investment and energy fields and activate memoranda of understanding signed previously.
