The French Ambassador to Jordan Veroniqua Vouland told the Amman International Rotary that her country was the first in Europe to invest in Jordan, In total, France invest more than two billion euros in Jordan and create 30,000 job opportunities throughout the country,” she said.

Vouland’s speech at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Amman Wednesday followed the pinning of six new Rotarians and the discussion of plans to introduce new projects in Jordan as a result of at least three potential twinning arrangements between the English-speaking club and fellow clubs in the US and Europe.

In her speech, Vouland “highlighted how Jordan and France are on the same line on global and regional issues: on the peace process through the “Munich Format” on the two-state solution, the necessity to resume talks, and to stop Israeli colonization.” She said that France and Jordan have “a common approach on many other global issues, fight against terrorism and more recently on ways to prevent food shortages.”
