AMMAN - Agreements worth $9.8 million were signed during the China Fair Jordan 2009, which concluded in Amman on Friday, according to organisers of the exhibition.
Most of the agreements signed were between Jordanian and Chinese companies, Fang Huan Sheng, the chief executive officer of Meorient International Group, which organised the 6th fair in Jordan, told The Jordan Times over the phone Saturday.
Noting that the contracts covered energy, machinery and construction, Sheng indicated that deals worth $63 million are under the process of being signed and they will be finalised “very soon”.
The show, which started last Tuesday, brought about over 9,380 visitors from 33 countries, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen, Syria and Iraq, he said, describing the fair as successful.
Over 500 Chinese companies took part in the fair, representing various industries such as building, machinery, automotive, energy, printing and general commodities.
Organisers said the fair, where over 3,000 Chinese products were displayed, provided an opportunity for networking and exploring cooperation potentials.
“China Fair Jordan is the largest Chinese product trade show of superlatives in Middle East that started from 2004,” according to organisers.
The show has been supported by the ministry of commerce of China, Chinese local government of different provinces as well as the Jordanian government, according to the fair’s website.
