Amman International Exhibition for Clothing and Textiles will continue its activities at the Amman International Fair on the Airport Road with the participation of 70 companies from inside and outside the Kingdom.

The representative of the leather industry and handicrafts sector in the Jordan Chamber of Industry, Eng. Ihab Qadri pointed out that the exhibition organized by Pulse Al Hayat for organizing exhibitions and conferences aims at highlighting the national clothing and footwear industry and marketing Jordan as an advanced country in the manufacture of handcrafts.

The exhibition, which was opened by Minister of Industry, Trade and Supply Dr. Tarek Al-Hamouri, was attended by 40 companies from Turkey, Lebanon, Egypt, Syria and 30 Jordanian companies.

He said exports of Jordanian clothing amounted to about 1.8 billion dollars a year, accounting for about 24 percent of industrial exports despite the challenges faced by the sewing industry and the high cost of production and lack of manpower.
