Rifai stressed the need to convene the Jordanian-Hungarian Business Forum on the sidelines of the Jordanian-Hungarian Joint Committee meeting, to be held later this year, with the aim of reviewing investment opportunities in the two countries and focusing on the sectors that could be marketed, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
