Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday held a meeting with King Abdullah II ibn Al Hussein in Amman, where the two leaders held wide-ranging and productive discussions aimed at further strengthening India–Jordan relations. PM Modi said the King’s personal commitment to vibrant bilateral ties was noteworthy and highlighted that India and Jordan are celebrating the 75th anniversary of their diplomatic relations this year. 

During the meeting, King Abdullah II welcomed the signing of agreements and memoranda of understanding, saying they would advance cooperation and open new avenues for collaboration. He also underlined the importance of the upcoming Jordan-India Business Forum.

Noting that it would provide a valuable platform to promote business-to-business partnerships, encourage joint investments in key sectors and expand trade between the two countries.

Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Modi arrived in Amman on an official visit to Jordan and was accorded a ceremonial welcome. Jordanian Prime Minister Jafar Hassan received him at the airport, formally welcoming the Indian leader as he began the Jordan leg of his overseas tour.

PM Modi is visiting Jordan from December 15 to 16 at the invitation of King Abdullah II. The visit includes discussions on the full spectrum of India–Jordan relations, exchanges on regional and global developments, and interactions with members of the Indian diaspora living in Jordan.

The visit is particularly rememberable as it marks 75 years of diplomatic relations between India and Jordan. Jordan is the first stop on PM’s four-day, three-nation tour, which will also include visits to Ethiopia and Oman. Later on Monday, the Prime Minister is scheduled to hold a one-on-one meeting with King Abdullah II, followed by delegation-level talks.

On Tuesday, PM Modi and the Jordanian King are expected to jointly address an India–Jordan business forum, with participation from leading business representatives of both nations. The Prime Minister will also interact with the Indian community in Jordan and, along with the Crown Prince, is slated to visit Petra, the historic city known for its ancient trade links with India, subject to weather conditions.

First Bilateral Visit After 37 Years

The MEA said this is PM Modi’s first full bilateral visit to Jordan and the first by an Indian Prime Minister in 37 years, after a brief transit visit in 2018.
India is Jordan’s third-largest trading partner, with bilateral trade at USD 2.8 billion, and Jordan a key fertiliser supplier to India.
