Jordan said on Saturday it was looking forwarding to participating in the China-Arab States Expo, highlighting its significance in boosting economic and trade ties between China and the Arab states.

The expo will be held in Yinchuan, capital city of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region in northwest China, during September 10-13.

King Abdullah II of Jordan will head a delegation of public and private sectors representatives to the expo, Minister of Industry and Trade Maha Al Ali told Xinhua.
