Minister of Transport Nidal Qatamin on Thursday outlined the government’s strategy to position Jordan as a regional logistics and transport hub linking regional and international markets, underscoring the Kingdom’s strategic geographic location, political stability, and expanding infrastructure network.

Speaking during an economic salon organized by the Jordan Economic Forum under the title "Jordan as a Regional Logistics Hub: Transport Policies as a Lever for Growth and Competitiveness," Qatamin said the transport and logistics sector represents a key pillar of the Economic Modernization Vision and a major driver of economic growth, investment, and job creation.

Qatamin said recent geopolitical developments and disruptions affecting global shipping routes have reinforced the strategic importance of secure and resilient logistics corridors, highlighting Jordan’s growing role as a reliable regional transit and trade gateway.

He said the Kingdom’s political and security stability, supported by the diplomatic efforts led by His Majesty King Abdullah II and His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II, has strengthened international confidence in Jordan as a safe logistics and transit center.

The minister noted that Jordan witnessed increased cargo and freight movement through its border crossings and ports during recent regional crises, reflecting the growing importance of the Kingdom’s transport infrastructure and connectivity.
