UK, Jordan Strengthen Transport Sector Cooperation

Download IPFS

Jordan and the United Kingdom have discussed potential cooperation] in the transport sector. Jordan has identified transport system improvements, including public transportation and logistics, as a national priority. Officials have stated that more efficient infrastructure is essential for economic growth and regional connectivity.

The United Kingdom, through development initiatives, has previously provided assistance to Jordan in mobility projects, including electric bus programs under climate and economic development frameworks. While not specifically confirmed in transport infrastructure, UK-backed institutions such as the International Growth Centre (IGC) have conducted research in Jordan on broader economic issues

Available UK government documentation highlights cooperation in economic policy, governance, and selective development projects, though no official confirmation has been published about a new bilateral transport programme

Jordan continues to pursue major domestic projects, such as the Amman–Zarqa Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, which is expected to reduce congestion and improve accessibility. These initiatives reflect the country’s broader effort to modernise infrastructure and strengthen trade and investment opportunities.

The UK has previously emphasised support for Jordan’s overall stability and economic development through aid and institutional partnerships.

Officials in Jordan have welcomed international partnerships that contribute to development priorities, including transport. Broader bilateral relations between Jordan and the UK remain active in economic, technical, and institutional fields.

Future collaboration may include transport-related discussions, but currently, only ongoing research and development links between Jordan and UK-supported organisations such as the IGC have been publicly documented.

Any future joint projects in transport would depend on confirmed agreements or programmes, which have not yet been formally announced by either government.
