The two leaders reviewed cooperation across key sectors, including trade and investment, defence and security, renewable energy, fertilizers and agriculture, digital technologies, critical minerals, infrastructure, health and pharmaceuticals, education, tourism, culture and people-to-people ties.
During the visit, India and Jordan signed several memorandums of understanding in areas such as culture, renewable energy, water management, digital public infrastructure, and a twinning arrangement between Petra and Ellora.
After delegation-level and restricted meetings, Modi and King Abdullah jointly addressed the India–Jordan Business Forum in Amman, urging business leaders from both sides to convert untapped potential into concrete economic growth, the MEA said.
