The Jordanian Foreign Minister comments after his meeting with Al-Sharaa... and this is what he said about cooperation with Syria

The Jordanian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ayman Al-Safadi, announced that he chaired, jointly with his Syrian counterpart, Asaad Al-Shaibani, the third session of the Supreme Coordination Council between the two countries, stressing the continuation of expanding cooperation in the economic, defense and security fields. Al-Safadi stated, in a blog post on his account on the “X” platform, previously Twitter, on Monday evening, that he was honored to meet the Syrian President in the transitional government, Ahmed Al-Sharaa, and conveyed to him the greetings of the Jordanian King, King Abdullah II, and his wishes for Syria for further progress and achievement.

Al-Safadi added that he offered the Kingdom of Jordan's condolences and sympathy for the innocent civilians who died in the Daraa incident. The Jordanian Foreign Minister continued: "We are proud of the progress witnessed in the historical fraternal relations between Jordan and Syria, and we are continuing to work to expand cooperation in various economic, defense and security fields for the benefit of the two countries and the two brotherly peoples."

Al-Safadi stressed that Jordan stands with Syria "with all our capabilities in the reconstruction process and in protecting its security, stability and sovereignty." He concluded his post by thanking his Syrian counterpart, Asaad Al-Shaibani, for his “good hospitality and warm reception.”

Al-Safadi had made a visit to Damascus, during which he met with Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa and his counterpart, Asaad Al-Shaibani, following the attack on the Karak Church in Jordan, which resulted in the deaths of 9 people. Amman responded by launching air strikes targeting sites inside Syrian territory, which it said were linked to the perpetrators of the attack.

The two countries also signed 11 cooperation agreements, which included a memorandum on railway connectivity that paves the way for the establishment of a regional corridor linking Saudi Arabia with Turkey, passing through Jordan and Syria.
