In this regard, this year our country is ready to host a summit in the framework of the Aqaba Process. The initiative was launched by King Abdullah II in 2015 and involves a series of international meetings aimed at strengthening cooperation and coordination in the fight against terrorism.
Jordan also ranks among Bulgaria's traditional trading partners in the MENA region with potential for development. The country is an important partner of the EU and NATO.
