CURRENT STATE
Where things stand, 2026
India-Jordan relations are stable and growing, particularly in the fertiliser and IT sectors. The JIFCO joint venture remains the flagship partnership. Political ties are warm and structured around regular high-level visits, FOC rounds and multilateral margins meetings. Trade has moderated from its 2021-22 peak but remains above USD 2 billion. The IT Centre at Al-Hussein University represents the newest growth vector, with health and medical cooperation also developing.
