Chairman of Jordan Chamber of Commerce Nael Al Kabariti will visit Damascus to discuss economic ties between Jordan and Syria. Kabariti said Saturday that this visit falls in line with discussions between the Syrian and Jordanian private sectors. He added that he will meet with the Syrian economy minister to discuss bilateral economic relations. In Feb., Kabariti convened with Syrian Minister of Internal Trade and Consumer Protection Talal al-Barazi to develop economic cooperation and trade between the two countries. The meeting between the Jordan Chamber of Commerce and the Federation of Syrian Chambers of Commerce concluded that bilateral trade faces the hurdle of administrative restrictions and fees on transit. The meeting recommended exempting the commodities from the restrictions at the free trade zone on the Syrian-Jordanian border.
