King Abdullah II of Jordan paid a working visit to France on September 17 and 18 during which he met with French President Francois Hollande. The king and Hollande discussed Jordanian-French ties, as well as the latest regional and international developments. Abdullah II also met with a number of French officials as well as influential economic, religious and intellectual figures.
    The king voiced support for the concerted international efforts to combat the threat that terrorist organizations and radical groups pose to regional and global security, during a meeting with Hollande in Paris on Thursday, according to a statement. On this occasion, both leaders expressed their attachment to the strong and friendly bilateral ties binding the Kingdom of Jordan and France. They emphasized their commitment to enhancing cooperation between the two countries on bilateral and multilateral issues of common concern even further.
    President Hollande and King Abdullah II stressed the mutual economic and social benefit of continued cooperation between the public and private sectors of both countries.
    They welcomed the signature during the visit of several agreements and Memoranda of Understanding as positive steps, deepening the strategic bilateral relationship in key sectors such as sustainable economic and local development (in particular in Aqaba), water sustainability, renewable energy and the media. In this sector, a MoU between the Jordan Radio and Television Corporation and France Media Monde will allow the broadcasting in Jordan of France 24, RFI and Monte Carlo Doualiya programmes.
    Aqaba had its share of attention during the royal visit as the area was represented by Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority Authority (ASEZA) Chief Commissioner Professor Kamel Mahadin. Dr. Mahadin, being member of the Jordanian delegation, noted that: "under the leadership of His Majesty King Abdullah II, Jordan has developed a fine business investment environment that has resulted in many billions of dollars being attracted to projects in Aqaba".
    Mahadin also highlighted King Abdullah II's role in promoting Jordan and positioning it on the international arena.
    The success Aqaba is witnessing today is part of the king's vision, he said. This vision strives to transform Aqaba into a world class business hub and leisure destination. He noted that the Zone's strategic location, attractive business environment and world class multi-modal transportation network make ideal it for French investors wishing to expand to the Middle East. Professor Mahadin added that: "we look forward to developing means of cooperation with the French side through the establishment of business centers in Aqaba that facilitate the presence and activities of French business".
    Mahadin said other areas of cooperation are under consideration, such as building business parks in Aqaba. Mahadin, representing the Aqaba Development Corporation, signed a MoU with CMA CGM for the purpose of setting up a project that will include the construction and operation of a logistic services yard as a hub for CMA CGM containers.
    Jean-Philippe Thenoz, Senior Vice President/Group Agencies Network, expressed his appreciation of King Abdullah II for meeting French business figures, reflecting the strong historical ties that Jordan and France have. He also noted that: "Jordan has successfully attracted French investments and has become a trade and logistics-services hub serving the Middle East".
    Aqaba is experiencing major developments in all sectors as the zone witnesses the implementation of a comprehensive ports development strategy, coupled with the development of multi-billion dollar projects.
