He called for activating the economic role of Jordanian embassies abroad, by introducing and promoting Jordanian industries, as well as providing industry chambers with information about export opportunities to the countries where these embassies are located, as well as the economic events held there, in addition to their role in bringing investments to Jordan, by introducing the investment advantages offered by the kingdom to investors.

For his part, Ambassador al-Omari stressed that he will work to introduce high-value-added investment opportunities in the kingdom, especially in the sectors of ICT, logistics, tourism, industry, agriculture, health, energy, renewable energy, religious tourism, mining and food industries.
