Jordan to boost agricultural relations with Israel

Jordanian Agriculture Minister Mujhim al-Khresheh stressed his country's desire to maintain relations with Israel. He stressed that there is a "de facto " that has to be dealt with in that Israel is a state existing in the region.

The Jordanian minister added that Jordan signed a treaty in the field of agricultural normalization with Israel. Thereby, it is linked to international charters which are not to be easily dismissed or ignored. The Jordanian minister claimed that the Jordanian - Israeli agricultural agreement does not have adverse consequences on Jordan's agricultural relations with other Arab states.
