BEIJING - Jordan is looking to attract Chinese investment for its key industries by highlighting its location advantage as a gateway for companies expanding into the Middle East and North Africa and the Europe.
"We have many projects in our portfolio that welcome Chinese investors. One is the national railway network connecting Jordan to other developed economies, which could make it easier for Chinese enterprises to invest in those economies," Elias S. Farraj, a deputy CEO on the Jordan Investment Board, told China Daily.
"We also plan to set up Jordan's first nuclear power station by 2015, and both China and the United States have shown an interest and are currently bidding on the project," said Farraj.
