Dahabi invites Slovakians to tap opportunities in Jordan

Addressing participants taking part in the business forum held in Slovakia, the second leg of his tour, Dahabi invited Slovak businessmen to visit Jordan, saying: "I guarantee that if you visit Jordan as businessmen or as tourists, you will find that you are welcome at all times, whether you come on business or as tourists."

Dahabi highlighted the business opportunities and tourist and historical attractions in the Kingdom, underlining Pope Benedict XVI recent visit to Jordan, in particular.
