AMMAN — Chief of the Joint Staff, Maj. Gen. Yousef Ahmed Huneiti on Friday visited Turkish Aerospace Industries (TUSAS) and Turkish defence company ROKETSAN, and was briefed on the companies' key programmes in the military aviation and advanced air systems fields.

 

During the visit, Huneiti discussed with Secretary of Turkish Defence Industries Haluk Gorgun cooperation prospects in the defence industries, technology transfer, development and manufacturing, and building strategic partnerships that serve the two countries' common interests.

 

The two sides also discussed ways to enhance collaboration in the defence industries, aimed at building technological partnerships and establishing an industrial base capable of supporting the two nations' armed forces and security requirements, according to a Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army (JAF) statement.

 

In the presence of a number of senior officers of the JAF, the Jordanian ambassador and military attaché in Ankara, Huneiti called for benefiting from the advanced Turkish expertise in the defence industries sector, which would raise the JAF's technical and operational efficiency and contribute to training the human resources working in this field.
