Hajj Tawfiq expressed Jordanian commercial sector's desire in its various sectors to develop its economic, investment and trade relations with Romania, Bulgaria and Moldova. Jordan, he noted, is an "important" platform for launching global trade for the region's countries, as the Kingdom is the most "stable and secure nation" regionally. Moreover, Hajj Tawfiq stressed need to benefit from Jordan's free trade agreements signed with a number of countries and economic blocs, which allow the Kingdom to export various duty-free Jordanian manufactured products. Haj Tawfiq noted Jordan is "rich" of multiple investment opportunities with high added value, primarily in the sectors of information and telecom technology (ITT), logistical services, tourism, industry, agriculture, health, energy, renewable energy, medical tourism, mining and food industries. For his part, Qudah said Jordan's private sector is the "backbone" of the national economy, pointing to need to achieve His Majesty King Abdullah II's vision in achieving the Kingdom's food security as part of national security. Qudah also said Jordan should become a regional hub for food, to be a center for storing Romanian wheat products , which would then be distributed to other countries, adding that future step would in this regard contribute to making Jordan a "complete" food security center. He said action to achieve food security requires provision of the "appropriate" infrastructure an environment, and "effective and true" partnership between Jordan's public and private sectors. In addition, he stressed readiness to "fully" cooperate with Amman Chamber of Commerce to provide services that would facilitate efforts made by Jordan and Romania to make business.
