Progress towards reopening of vital Nassib trade crossing
An Nahar newspaper reported progress in negotiations between Jordan and Syria on reopening the Nassib border crossing between the two countries, pending final agreement on a number of technical measures. However, An Nahar quoted the Jordanian Government spokesperson, Jumana Ghuneimat, as saying that no specific date has been set for the resumption of its trade activities. Retired brigadier general, Mohamad Alawneh, for his part, stated that the reopening of borders might need more time to create the appropriate security situation needed for the movement of passengers and transport. According to Jordanian military experts, Jordan is looking forward to the reopening of this border crossing which constitutes the ‘northern lung of Jordan’ and is the major transit line connecting Jordan with several other countries. Furthermore, it is to be noted that the reopening of this vital trade crossing was also at the core of discussions between Lebanese and Syrian officials during the Damascus International Fair held recently in the Syrian capital (https://bit.ly/2xj8vO6).
