County Tipperary Chamber and the Jordan Ireland Business Association agreed to appoint representatives from each organisation to coordinate further.
Jordan, officially called the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, is situated at the crossroads of Asia, Africa and Europe and central to this new Tipperary endeavour is Cloughjordan village`s 800 year old historical connection with the Middle Eastern state and the planned visit will also seek to deepen the social and cultural links developed by the Cloughjordan Community Development Committee including the very successful Cloughjordan community group trip to Jordan in October 2019.
