Syrian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Assaad Hassan al‑Shaibani held a telephone conversation on Tuesday with Jordanian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ayman Safadi to discuss prospects for strengthening bilateral cooperation and to review current regional developments, reaffirming the longstanding fraternal ties between Damascus and Amman.
In a statement released the same day, the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates noted that the discussion centred on bilateral relations, with both ministers underscoring the resilience of these ties and the importance of advancing cooperation across multiple sectors.
During the call, the two ministers condemned the recent strikes targeting the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and expressed full solidarity with Riyadh in confronting attacks aimed at its security and sovereignty.
They also reviewed the latest progress related to the Syrian‑Jordanian Higher Coordination Council as part of ongoing efforts to follow up on bilateral coordination mechanisms. The ministers exchanged assessments of key regional dynamics and their broader implications for regional security and stability.
The conversation comes amid continued diplomatic engagement between Damascus and Amman aimed at harmonising positions on regional issues of mutual concern.
Syrian‑Jordanian relations carry significant strategic weight due to geographic proximity, deep economic, social and security linkages, and overlapping regional files that require sustained coordination. The Syrian‑Jordanian Higher Coordination Council serves as an institutional framework for advancing cooperation in political, economic, trade, transport and energy sectors, while also addressing shared border security challenges.
