Azerbaijan and Jordan will discuss the possibility of importing natural gas from Azerbaijan, the Industry and Trade Minister of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan Hani El-Mulki told Trend on Thursday, on the eve of his visit to Baku.
"The possibility of signing a memorandum on mutual cooperation in energy and mineral resources between the two countries will also be considered," he said. "We are ready to promote investments of the Azerbaijani companies in projects on oil and gas exploration in Jordan in accordance with PSAs," Hani El-Mulki said.
