To step up technical collaboration and spur the exchange of successful innovation- and technology-based experiences, the Ministry of International Cooperation launched on Monday the preparatory meetings for the 30th session of the Egyptian-Jordanian Joint Higher Committee at the Ministry’s headquarters.
The meeting was attended by representatives of Egypt’s Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Interior, Transport, Health, Trade and Industry. The Jordanian delegation included representatives of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Supply, Health, Transport, Customs, the Food and Drug Corporation, and the Ministry of Labor and Agriculture. During the meeting, the two parties agreed to collaborate in leveraging technical and knowledge exchange in energy, trade and industry, and sharing knowledge of governance frameworks that seek to address the health, water, food, and energy nexus.
The 29th session of the Egyptian-Jordanian Joint Higher Committee, which was held in Jordan last year, witnessed the signing of 7 documents for joint cooperation in a diversity of sectors, including electricity, water management and antiquities.
The Egyptian-Jordanian Joint Higher Committee has witnessed a number of substantive interactions since its launch in 1985, where 29 sessions were held that resulted in 154 protocols, agreements and documents of cooperation to strengthen technical cooperation in accordance with both countries’ aspirations for path-breaking achievements in sustainable development.
