CAIRO – 19 February 2021: Joint Egyptian-Jordanian higher committee will convene in March for discussing the bilateral cooperation between the two countries in the fields of electricity interconnection, oil and gas, said Jordanian ‏Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Hala Zawati during a meeting on Thursday.

She participated in a preparatory meeting at the ministerial level to prepare for the next committee. The meeting was attended by Egyptian Minister of Petroleum Tarek El Mulla and Egyptian Minister of Electricity Mohamed Shaker.

 

 

 

 

In April 2019, Egypt and Jordan have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU), per which Jordan will resume purchasing and selling natural gas between the two countries after a long halt.

 

In September 2020,  Egypt, Jordan and Iraq agreed to establish an electricity linkage and an oil pipeline to enhance the tripartite cooperation among the three parties.
