AMMAN, July 12 (Xinhua) -- King Abdullah II of Jordan on Sunday said the country has succeeded in handling the COVID-19 pandemic, and now it is time to focus on the economy.

The Jordanian leader made the remarks at a meeting with prominent figures from various governorates, where he emphasized the economic recovery, poverty, and unemployment as the key challenges ahead.

The king reaffirmed that Jordan would come out stronger after COVID-19, and the country enjoys the potential to excel in the pharmaceutical, advanced agricultural, and medical supplies manufacturing sectors despite the challenges.

Jordan's king stressed the importance of coordination among various public and private stakeholders to reach effective outcomes in terms of agricultural and industrial production.

The Jordanian Health Ministry on Sunday reported three new COVID-19 cases, increasing the tally to 1,179.

China has supported Jordan's fight against the pandemic. On May 31, China donated a batch of medical supplies to Jordan to help combat the coronavirus.
