Syria and Jordan Foreign Ministers Discuss Bilateral Ties and Regional Developments

Syria’s foreign minister, Assaad Hassan al‑Shaibani, spoke by telephone on Tuesday with Jordanian deputy prime minister and foreign minister Ayman Safadi, according to a statement from the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates as reported by The Syrian Observer.

Bilateral Discussion

The ministers discussed prospects for strengthening bilateral cooperation and reviewed current regional developments, reaffirming the longstanding fraternal ties between Damascus and Amman.

Regional Solidarity

In the same statement, the Syrian ministry said the discussion centred on bilateral relations, with both officials 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.

Coordination Mechanisms

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, and exchanged assessments of key regional dynamics and their broader implications for regional security and stability.

Strategic Importance

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 because of 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.
