Under the JETCO framework, the two countries discussed ways to advance cooperation in strategic areas, including bilateral trade and investments, contracting and technical consultancy services, cooperation in third countries, support for small and medium-sized enterprises, energy, agriculture, water management, transportation, financial cooperation, and the circular economy.
