India–Jordan Business Forum in Amman: New Momentum for Trade, Industry, and Logistics

His Majesty King Abdullah II and His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al-Hussein bin Abdullah II and India Prime Minister Narendra Modi

December 16, 2025 | Amman, Jordan

Jordan and India took a fresh step toward deeper commercial ties this week as King Abdullah II and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended the opening session of the India–Jordan Business Forum in Amman, alongside Crown Prince Hussein.

Hosted by the Jordan Chamber of Commerce, the forum brought together representatives from more than 20 leading Indian companies, alongside Jordanian businesses operating across key sectors. The focus: strengthening economic partnership, expanding cooperation, and opening new markets for both countries.

Key themes highlighted at the forum

In remarks at the opening session, King Abdullah II pointed to Jordan’s readiness to expand trade and investment cooperation with India, while underscoring Jordan’s strengths across sectors such as food, fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, textiles, ICT, energy, mining, tourism, advanced industries, and logistics services.

A major emphasis was logistics: the King highlighted Jordan’s location and capabilities as an advantage for developing integrated logistics and manufacturing hubs, noting the opportunity created by connecting Jordan’s transport network with the India–Middle East–Europe Corridor (IMEC).

Prime Minister Modi, in turn, emphasized India’s interest in expanding cooperation—particularly in digital infrastructure and communications, pharmaceuticals and medical devices, and agriculture—while also calling for stronger business-to-business engagement between the two countries.

A practical step forward

The forum also saw the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the Jordan Chamber of Commerce and the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), aimed at supporting trade facilitation, investment, sector coordination, and knowledge exchange.

Why this matters for industry in Jordan and the wider region

For manufacturers, EPC contractors, and industrial operators, the themes raised at the forum are directly linked to real-world priorities: resilient supply chains, reliable cross-border logistics, and faster access to technology and industrial inputs. If trade and cooperation accelerate in the areas highlighted—energy, fertilizers, mining, manufacturing, and logistics—regional projects stand to benefit through broader sourcing options and stronger production networks.
