Bilateral relations between Jordan and Ireland have gone from strength to strength since the opening of the Irish Embassy in Amman in 2019.
Jordan has a small but active Irish community, primarily based in the capital city, Amman. The community often engages in cultural events, celebrating Irish holidays like St Patrick's Day and seeks to foster greater connections through the Jordanian Irish Association, which serves as a hub for social gatherings.
Ireland and Jordan share a modest but growing trade relationship, with over €365 million in two-way trade in goods and services annually.
With almost 70% of Jordan’s population under the age of 30, many of Ireland’s initiatives and connections in Jordan are centred on supporting youth and education.
