The Jordanian-Uzbekistani Leather and Garment Industries Forum opened in Amman on September 17, aiming to strengthen trade and investment ties.

Ihab Qadri of the Jordan Chamber of Industry highlighted Jordan’s strategic location, access to over 1.5 billion consumers, and the forum’s role in fostering joint ventures, integrated supply chains, and knowledge transfer.

Jordan’s leather and garment sector generates over $2.5 billion in annual exports, employs 90,000 people, and recorded 8% growth in the first half of 2025. Representatives from both countries said the forum could pave the way for long-term collaboration, expanded market access, and a stronger strategic partnership.
