Amman - Emirates Voice
The U.S basic aid to Jordan in 2017 totals $1.3 billion under the budget endorsed by Congress in early May.
The Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation said in a statement on Wednesday that the aid comes in appreciation of the pivotal role of His Majesty King Abdullah II, the burden it bears as well as its reform and developmental model.
During meetings with US official delegation that visited Jordan over the past period, Minister of Planning and International Cooperation Imad Fakhoury said the next US aid programme should respond to national priorities through the renewal of a memorandum of understanding that govern the aid presented to the Kingdom in the next five years, with emphasis on supporting the budget and certain competitive sectors in a manner that guarantees stimulation of the national economy according to the 2018-2022 growth stimulus package.
