To start with what has already been achieved, our potash industry in Jordan, our national company for potash, has been opened for a strategic partner, meaning it went under the process of privatization. Our Canadian partner owns 28% of the shares of that company. That's already established.
We have discovered uranium in abundance in Jordan, and that has opened new possibilities. We import 96% of our energy, and this discovery gave us ideas of peaceful nuclear energy. The Canadian technology, the CANDU, is the only technology that can use uranium without having to enrich it outside Jordan and bring it back in. We'll abide fully with the international agreements on non-proliferation and we'll be transparent.
We try to be an example in all we do. Whatever we do, we try to be an example in the region, so our nuclear program will be within that framework. We have hope in our uranium and we have hope in having partnerships. So far, the companies that want to work in Jordan have been shortlisted to three. One of them is a Canadian company. That's one of the major projects in mining that we have in Jordan.
