Türkiye, Jordan, and Syria have signed a trilateral memorandum of understanding on transport cooperation, aiming to enhance regional connectivity and trade along a key North-South corridor.
Speaking in Amman, Turkish Transport and Infrastructure Minister Abdulkadir Uraloglu met with Jordanian Transport Minister Nidal Qatamin and Syrian Transport Minister Yarub Badr to formalise the initiative.
Uraloglu described the agreement as a “strong declaration of will for the welfare of our peoples and regional development,” highlighting the role of efficient logistics in promoting political and economic stability.
Key developments include:
• Full activation of the Türkiye-Syria-Jordan axis expected to increase export potential and transit revenues.
• Modernisation of road and rail infrastructure, including plans to revive the historic Hejaz Railway and develop new rail links.
• Integration of maritime routes, utilising Türkiye and Syria’s Mediterranean ports and Jordan’s Aqaba Port as a land-sea bridge.
• Technical delegations scheduled to visit Saudi Arabia to explore extending the corridor to the Arabian Peninsula and beyond.
The trilateral framework aims to remove transport barriers, expand rail and port capacities, and stimulate sustainable trade growth across the region.
