The two agreed to renew the MoU signed in 2015 between both countries to identify the areas where Canada could support Jordan.
This includes an agreement to support the education sector and vocational and technical education.
Shraideh noted the importance of the National Water Carrier project, which occupies a top priority for water security in Jordan.
He said the second donor conference, slated to take place in 2023 would mobilize more support for the project.
