Hamriyah Free Zone Authority (HFZA) is taking part in a top construction, building materials, interior design and decoration industry event, with an aim to boost trade ties with Jordan.

The four-day Interbuild Jordan Fair 2014 concludes today (September 25) at the Zara Expo in Amman, Jordan.

Saud Salim AL Mazrouei, director of HFZA and Sharjah Airport International Free Zone, said: “We participated in the fair where key investors and exhibitors gathered from different countries. We were extremely happy to receive Jordan's prime minister to our booth.
