MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Russia won a contract to build the NPP in northern Jordan in 2013. An inter-governmental agreement on cooperation was signed in March 2015. Russia's state-run corporation Rosatom is expected to build two 1,000-megawatt (MW) nuclear power units by 2022.
"We are interested in the development of relationships with Moscow in various fields, in the attraction of Russian investments, and use of the experience of your country. In particular, we offer your businessmen to increase their investments in the Jordanian economy. We are interested in the cooperation in the field of transport, energy and infrastructure," the official said opening negotiations with speaker of the upper house of the Russian parliament Valentina Matvienko.
"We are a very stable and safe country, we have very good laws protecting the rights of investors. But the main scope is the cooperation with Russia in the field of peaceful nuclear energy."
