Dr. Tarawneh headed a large delegation to the Trilateral to resume talks in Eilat, Israel, on trade, agriculture, health, tourism, culture, education, Jordan Rift Valley and other topics of interest to the Trilateral Economic Committee. The Jordanian delegations crossed to Eilat via the new crossing point inaugurated under the auspices of the Crown Prince and Minister Shimon Peres two months earlier. They headed for the Moria Plaza Hotel in Eilat on Monday, 10 October 1994, where the negotiation sessions were scheduled to take place. There was excitement on both sides, and there was heavy security in and around the hotel. The talks went on smoothly, but many of the Jordanians were facing Israelis for the first time. Veteran negotiators had to go over the work of the rookies and participate in their separate group meetings. There was intensive review of the works of the groups in the evening, after the delegations returned to Aqaba. Consultations were maintained with the World Bank concerned officer to finalize the Project Identification Paper of the Jordan Rift Valley |
