China and Jordan inked three cooperation pacts on Tuesday following talks between visiting Chinese Assistant Minister of Commerce Chen Jian and Jordanian Minister of Planning and International Cooperation Suhair al-Ali.

The first agreement is an implementation one concerning two electronic boards installed in Al-Hussein Youth City in Amman and Prince Mohammad Sport City worth an estimated 20 million yuan ( about 2.6 million U.S. dollars).

Under the second agreement, China will train 30 Jordanian officials from the public sector and 10 from the civil defense directorate.

The third agreement is a grant one, under which China will finance development projects in Jordan.

Chen, who is in Jordan to participate in the second Arab-China Business Conference, highlighted the relations between China and Jordan, noting that China is committed to further supporting Jordan in various fields and enhancing trade and investment ties.

Suhair al-Ali underlined the significant role that China plays in Jordan's economic and social development.

The Jordanian minister also expressed appreciation over China's assistance to Jordan, which has exceeded 86 million dollars since 1984.
