The commercial atmosphere at the port of Aqaba in Jordan is strong, and a large number of Chinese cars and daily necessities continue to enter the local market. Relying on its unique location and policy advantages, this port city has become the core battlefield for China's commodity distribution and the landing and development of Chinese enterprises, continuously activating new vitality in China Jordan economic and trade cooperation.

Premium products rooted in the local area

As the only port city in Jordan, Aqaba undertakes the majority of the import of cars into the country. Despite the turbulent regional situation and increasing maritime risks, various Chinese goods continue to be steadily imported into Jordan. Since its establishment in 2006, the local Chinatown has gathered sixty stores covering a variety of categories such as clothing, electronics, and home furnishings, forming a large-scale distribution center for Chinese goods in conjunction with the Speed Dragon Mall. Nowadays, Chinese products have gained wide recognition from the Jordanian people due to their reliable quality and high cost-effectiveness, breaking away from low-end labels and continuously improving their competitiveness in the local market.

Chinese enterprises are deeply rooted in the land

Based on the advantages of the Aqaba Special Economic Zone established in 2001, more than 30 Chinese registered enterprises have settled in the area, covering various fields such as textiles, retail, import and export, and light industrial manufacturing. The Sino Norwegian joint venture has been deeply involved in the local industrial park for many years, responsible for the overall operation and management of the park. With its professional capabilities, it has gained high recognition from the contracting party. The two sides have once again signed a cooperation agreement to develop a new industrial zone, continuously expanding the localization development map of Chinese enterprises.
