YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 25, ARMENPRESS. The Eurasian Economic Commission and Jordan signed a memorandum of cooperation on September 20 in Amman. The memorandum was signed by Minister of Industry, Trade and Supply of Jordan Yaroub Qudah and Minister in charge of Integration and macroeconomics of the EEC Tatyana Valovaya during a meeting in the Jordanian capital.

The Jordanian minister said the signing of the memorandum was a long-awaited event in the history of relations between EEU member countries and Jordan.

“This is our first framework document in the Jordan-EEU format, with which we laid the foundation for a new phase of cooperation”, Qudah said.
