  • Pact to strengthen cultural ties, preserve historical records via exchange of expertise and technology

AMMAN: Jordan’s government has approved a memorandum of understanding with º£½ÇÖ±²¥ to enhance cooperation in archiving and documentation, the Petra news agency reported on Wednesday.

The decision ratified an agreement between Jordan’s Royal Hashemite Documentation Center and º£½ÇÖ±²¥â€™s National Center for Archives and Records.

The agreement will set out a framework to preserve and catalog historical documents, and the exchange of expertise and technology.

There will be joint training programs in document restoration, digitization, and professional development, Petra reported.

The plan includes archival exhibitions, scientific seminars, and joint research projects.

The agreement stipulates that shared documents and data may not be distributed to third parties without prior written consent, even after the pact ends.

It will be in effect for an initial three years and automatically renewed unless one side opts out in writing at least six months before the expiration date.
