Trade relations have witnessed remarkable development over the past two centuries, impacting various aspects of economic, social, and legal life.

The joint venture is one form of international trade cooperation. Through a planned strategy, it leverages diverse capabilities and specializes in specific operations within a defined framework. This involves multiple individuals or legal entities contributing to the establishment of an independent project aimed at achieving specific objectives. The success of these objectives requires combining diverse efforts within a single, cohesive project.

The joint venture is also a crucial financing mechanism for various projects, adapting to prevailing conditions. It is based on an agreement between two or more parties who jointly establish a specific project under their shared control.

Indeed, modern projects are increasingly focused on economic concentration, and to this end, they combine their resources to leverage advantages in production, competitiveness, and marketing.

The joint venture represents a modern legal framework for this type of cooperation, emerging within the realm of international trade.
