Syrian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Asaad Hassan Al-Shibani held talks today, Thursday, with Jordanian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Ayman Safadi in the city of Aqaba to discuss ways to enhance relations between the two brotherly countries.
Developing the Strategic Partnership
In the same context, the two ministers affirmed in a joint statement the depth of the brotherly relations uniting Syria and Jordan and the importance of advancing the development of a strategic partnership in various fields. They also emphasized their commitment to continuing work to develop cooperation to achieve the interests of the two countries and their brotherly peoples.
Preparations for the Third Session
For his part, the two ministers discussed the ongoing preparations to hold the third session of the Supreme Coordination Council between the two brotherly countries in Damascus on November 8 and 9, 2026, and to follow up on the implementation of the outcomes of the second session held in Amman last April, translating what was agreed upon into practical steps.
They added that they agreed to continue discussing strategic projects related to food security, energy, water, transport, and other priority projects that are executable during the third session of the Jordanian-Syrian Supreme Coordination Council.
Shared Regional Positions
Safadi pointed to the Kingdom's firm position in supporting brotherly Syria in the reconstruction process on foundations that ensure its unity, sovereignty, security, stability, territorial integrity, and the safety of its citizens, while safeguarding the rights of all Syrians. He stressed that Syria's security and stability are a cornerstone for the security and stability of the region.
The two ministers renewed their condemnation of repeated Israeli aggression and incursions on Syrian territory, and the necessity of stopping them, considering them a blatant violation of Syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and a flagrant breach of international law, the UN Charter, and Israel's obligations under the 1974 Disengagement Agreement.
The two ministers affirmed Syria and Jordan's absolute solidarity with brotherly Saudi Arabia, and their full support for it in every step it takes to protect its security, stability, sovereignty, and the safety of its citizens and residents.
Al-Shibani and Safadi also renewed their condemnation of the attacks by the Houthi militia on brotherly Saudi Arabia, targeting civilians and civilian and economic facilities, considering them a flagrant violation of international law and a brutal aggression on Saudi sovereignty, security, stability, and the safety of its citizens and residents.
Continuous Coordination
The two ministers discussed regional developments and efforts to end escalation, restore calm, and enhance security and stability in the region. Al-Shibani and Safadi agreed to continue consultations and maintain coordination and cooperation between the two countries in various fields, and to follow up on the implementation of what is agreed upon, thereby enhancing brotherly relations and serving the interests of both countries.
