AMMAN, July 8 (Xinhua) -- Israel on Thursday agreed to offer Jordan 50 million cubic meters of additionally purchased water, the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.

During a meeting between Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi and his Israeli counterpart Yair Lapid on the Jordanian side of the King Hussein Bridge, an agreement was also completed within the Paris Protocol, according to which the volume of Jordanian exports to the West Bank will increase from 160 million U.S. dollars annually to an approximate amount of 700 million dollars.

The two ministers agreed that the technical teams would meet in the coming days to finalize the specifications of the water agreement as well as discuss raising the volume of exports to the Palestinian market between officials in Jordan, Israel and Palestine.
