serving the national economy, echoing royal directives for continuous
collaboration among all sectors. He highlighted ADC's commitment to supporting
feasible initiatives for sustainable development, emphasizing cooperation for
the national economy and promoting growth like that experienced by JE, a model
for supporting Jordanian exports.

Qurayouti commended ADC's role in empowering national entities and saw the MoU
as a motivator for JEC to further its efforts. This will be achieved through
joint activities with the private sector and exporters to gather information on
desired shipping routes, conduct educational activities related to maritime
shipping, and promote the advantages of investing in the ASEZ to attract local
and foreign investment.
