AMMAN, Nov. 23 (Xinhua) -- Jordan's Ministry of Water and Irrigation revealed on Tuesday a declaration of intent signed by the governments of Jordan, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Israel on Monday.

The document requires negotiating the feasibility of the establishment of a renewable energy project in Jordan to be implemented by a UAE company, in addition to a water desalination project to supply Jordan with 200 million cubic meters of water from the Mediterranean, said the Jordan's ministry in a statement.

The ministry highlighted that the document is merely a declaration of intent, as the signatories are not subject to any legal obligations or legal rights under international laws.

The three parties are going to consider the feasibility of the two projects by the end of the third quarter of next year, it added. Enditem
