AMMAN - A China-aided housing project to benefit low-income Jordanians was handed over to the Jordanian government on Monday.

Funded by the Chinese government, the Low-income Family Housing Project will help many low-income families in Jordan to improve living conditions, which represent a new achievement of the long- standing friendship between the two countries, said Chinese ambassador to Jordan Yue Xiaoyong after attending the handing-over ceremony with Jordanian Minister of Planning and International Cooperation Jafar Hassan.

The two governments will expand cooperation in many areas on the basis of equality and mutual benefits and China, for its part, will provide as much aid as possible to help social and economic development of Jordan, Yue added.

According to an agreement between China and Jordan, the Chinese government granted $15 million to implement the Low- income Family Housing Project in the Arab kingdom.

The project is undertaken by Guangdong Xinguang International Group. Construction began on Oct 30, 2009 and the first phase had been completed by Oct 30, 2010, which provides 70 high-quality housing units for low-income families in Jordan's Al-Mafraq governorate.
