The prime minister highlighted economic challenges facing the Kingdom, adding they coincided with the regional situation that reflected negatively on tourism and remittances of Jordanian expatriates. "Jordanian exports and the transport movement were also affected by the current situation in Syria," he added. Tarawneh said that the government was frank with the parliament on its political and economic reform programs out of its respect to the legislative authority, noting that citizens have the right to know challenges facing the country. The premier was briefed by the agriculture minister and the Kuwaiti official on the agricultural memorandum of understanding that was signed today between the two counties.
