Jordan and China have agreed to extend the period of the framework agreement on a 200-million Chinese yuan (26.7 million U.S. dollars) concessional loan until the end of July 2009, Chinese Ambassador to Jordan Gong Xiaosheng told Xinhua on Wednesday.
Gong said he and Jordanian Minister of Planning and International Cooperation Suhair Al-Ali signed the Exchange of Letters on Tuesday and that both sides agreed to finance a number of development projects through this loan in the near future.
In recent years, the Chinese government has provided Jordan with more than 66 million Chinese yuan (8.8 million dollars) in low-interest or interest-free loans and donations, and has also helped train Jordanian technicians.
