I feel greatly honoured to welcome all the participants and visitors of the Ninth Russian Industrial Exhibition “Expo-Russia Jordan 2010” being held in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Amman. On behalf of the International Association of Peace Foundations I have the pleasure to say that Jordan-Russian relations have long been developing in the framework of strategic partnership and alliance. Strong and long-lasting cooperation was partly achieved through Russian exhibitions showing the developments of the national industry.

  The fact of Zarubezh-Expo holding the exhibition “EXPO-RUSSIA Jordan 2010” in Jordan for the ninth time under the auspices of the International Association of Peace Foundations proves it to be one of the most important Russian events in the economic life of Jordan and the Middle East Countries to mutually benefit from the trade and economic cooperation of the countries involved.   

  I am convinced that the exhibition “EXPO-RUSSIA Jordan 2010” will greatly add up to the bilateral cooperation between our countries.  I wish happiness, success, and fruitful work to all the participants!
