Prime Minister: More than 81% of Ma'an Development Vision Projects and Programs Completed

The Prime Minister said that the Aqaba-Ma'an Land Port is the essential cornerstone for building the economy of Ma'an Governorate, and many industries must be concentrated and transferred to Ma'an from Aqaba, except for the essential ones that must be very close to the ports.

He added that "we will soon witness the laying of the cornerstone for the Aqaba-Shiddiya-Ma'an railway line, and the railway line that will reach Ma'an will be the cornerstone for building Ma'an Land.

Hassan emphasized that linking Aqaba with industries and railways in Ma'an, and transferring matters that can be logistically transported to it, including customs, is a fundamental issue, and will provide us with an integrated component for the Ma'an Land Port and the Ma'an Development Zone."

He pointed out that the wisdom has started studying the connection of the Karrama-Safawi-Azraq-Jufr-Ma'an Land Road to enable Ma'an to be directly and more efficiently connected internationally with Iraq.

The Prime Minister continued that "the integrated development picture of Ma'an Governorate must be completed by 2027, and we will put it into implementation, and we will issue tenders next year for this integrated picture so that we can implement it in the coming years, and God willing, they will all be ready on the ground by 2030-2031, and this vision is fully believed to be achievable."

The Prime Minister said that the government will implement projects in the water sector worth 50 million Jordanian dinars in Ma'an Governorate.

He added that the government has put in place a package of measures to help the tourism sector in Petra, which has suffered tourism-wise due to regional conditions, and it will continue to provide aid, incentives, and support as much as possible in cooperation with the authority, to sustain activities and the operation of establishments there, and we hope that tourism will return to the sector better in the coming period.

The government will establish a park in Ma'an Governorate, among 6 parks to be established in several governorates, matching the specifications of the Mafraq Park and the Nashami Park in the Marj Al-Hamam area, and God willing, we will complete it by 2027 to be available as a breath for all categories of citizens, children, and youth, according to Hassan.

The Council of Ministers announced a comprehensive rehabilitation of King Abdullah II Tourist Park and Ma'an Model Park, and providing them with the necessary facilities to serve citizens and visitors.

Establishment of a development zone in the Shiddiya area (Eastern Abu Ammoud) with an area of 13,000 dunams to enable the Phosphate Mines Company to implement three strategic industrial projects, in partnership with a number of local and international companies, with an investment volume exceeding 1.25 billion Jordanian dinars, which will have a developmental impact on the region, in addition to providing job opportunities for the local community.

Comprehensive and immediate rehabilitation of the Ma'an Teachers' Club building will be completed within three months; as part of a plan to improve the infrastructure of teachers' clubs in various governorates worth 3 million Jordanian dinars, and the establishment of new buildings in some governorates where they are not available, within our keenness to support teachers and provide services to them in the governorates,
