Fakhoury said the discussions also covered the need to increase Chinese investment in Jordan in the fields of gas, shale oil, renewable energy, and potash and phosphate fertilizers.
The two sides agreed to start technical meetings to draw a draft concerning their cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative.
Meanwhile, several agreements were signed with regard to increasing China-Jordan future cooperation in sectors such as tourism.
They also signed the Programme for Development, Economic and Technical Cooperation for the years 2024-2024.
A development assistance deal was also signed to finance the road project (Salt al Ardah) in Jordan, with a total budget of 31.6 million U.S. dollars, which will be implemented by Jordanian and Chinese companies.
From 1999 to 2024, China had provided Jordan with grants and loans worth a total of 225 million dollars.
