In their discussion of the growing economic ties, the foreign minister commended Kuwait's support of Jordan to help it address economic challenges, including a $5 billion grant to the Kingdom by the Gulf Cooperation Council nations.
Sheikh Sabah said Kuwait looked forward to further cooperation and coordination with Jordan vis-a-vis various regional and international issues "in a way to serve pan-Arab and pan-Islamic issues and achieve the aspirations of Jordanian and Kuwaiti people.
Judeh also discussed with Kuwaiti Prime Minister Sheikh Jaber Al Mubarak Al Sabah ways to bolster ties through signed cooperation agreements, protocols and memos of understanding in meetings of the joint Jordanian-Kuwaiti Higher Committee.
They agreed that such accords would lay the framework for advanced economic and investment relations, including deals related to investment promotion and forging strong ties between private sector institutions in both countries.
