Amman - Jordan and Saudi Arabia on Wednesday agreed on putting a time schedule to implement the E-link project to improve bilateral customs and trade cooperation.
Director General of Jordan Customs Ghaleb Sarayrah met with Director General of the Saudi Department of Customs Abdullah Al-Rasheed and Director General of Al Hadithah Customs Center Zayed Al-Zayed to discuss ways of boosting investment and economic cooperation as well as facilitating and simplifying procedures for better flow of goods, passengers and cargo.
