In the presence of representatives from the Jordanian Armed Forces, the Ambassador of France, H.E. Veronique Vouland-Aneini along with the Chargé d’Affaires a.i. of the Embassy of the Netherlands, Marc Hasselaar signed the MoU at the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Amman. The two countries’ financial contribution amounts to a total of 1.9 million euros: 1.45 million euro from the Netherlands and 0.45 million euro from France.

The jointly financed project is aimed at supporting the security and stability of Jordan by allowing for better integrated border management and an improved capacity to react to security crises along the three borders in the Eastern Military Zone. In addition, the project will upgrade the current facilities of the logistical and administrative hub located in Al Ruwaished.

Enhancing Jordan’s overall capability to react in an integrated manner to possible threats in this remote area will add to the stability of the region and improve the quality and skills of Jordanian security forces.
