​During a meeting of the Joint Saudi-Jordanian Business Council, President of the Jordan Chamber of Commerce Khalil Al-Haj Tawfiq called for transitioning economic relations between Jordan and Saudi Arabia into a new phase focused on establishing joint productive projects and tangible partnerships. Al-Haj Tawfiq emphasized that rapid global shifts, geopolitical tensions, and logistics disruptions in the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandab, and the Strait of Hormuz demonstrate that relying on long-distance supply chains poses significant risks to food and economic security.
​Al-Haj Tawfiq urged treating bilateral economic integration as a core component of national economic security for both nations, advocating for shared borders to serve as launchpads for joint supply chains and ventures. He proposed aligning Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 with Jordan's Economic Modernization Vision to build combined investments, while also suggesting business alliances to undertake projects in regional markets like Iraq and Syria by leveraging Jordanian field expertise.
​Addressing the business council's operational approach, Al-Haj Tawfiq urged moving away from routine meetings and recommendations toward measurable output. He proposed launching a one-year execution-focused action program, establishing a permanent supply chain coordination mechanism, creating a secure bilateral trade corridor, and exploring the establishment of joint Jordanian-Saudi ports to mitigate future logistical crises.
