Our cooperation in new and renewable energy reflects a shared commitment to clean growth, energy security and climate responsibility” PM Modi said in a post on the X social media platform. “Collaboration in water resources management and development will help us share best practices in conservation, efficiency and technology, ensuring long-term water security. The Twinning Agreement between Petra and Ellora opens new avenues for heritage conservation, tourism and academic exchanges. The renewal of the Cultural Exchange Programme (2025-2029) will deepen people-to-people ties. Sharing our digital innovations will support Jordan’s digital transformation and promote inclusive governance”, PM Modi further affirmed.
