A Jordanian official has revealed to Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper that his country and Saudi Arabia are negotiating to promote cooperation between them in different sectors, including the peaceful use of nuclear energy, along with training Saudi staff on extracting uranium.

The CEO of Jordan Nuclear Power Company Dr. Ahmad Hiyasat told Asharq Al-Awsat that the cooperation between Riyadh and Amman in the field of nuclear energy to produce electricity is important and will ensure sustainable development and confront rising prices in the energy sector.

Hiyasat said Saudi Arabia is considered the biggest backers of Jordan in different fields, and that Riyadh has provided Amman with economic aid to support its infrastructure and national budget.

According to the CEO, nuclear energy represents a reliable source to generate power with fixed or declining prices, and minimizes dependence on fossil resources.
