The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan plays a pivotal role in supporting security, stability and prosperity in the Middle East. It continues to exert significant efforts to deepen partnership at all levels — security, diplomatic, political, social and economic — with neighboring countries.
In March 2025, the kingdom hosted a meeting for officials from countries neighboring Syria to discuss security, reconstruction and the voluntary return of refugees to the country.
Foreign and defense ministers, chiefs of staff and intelligence directors from Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Türkiye and Jordan attended the conference. Topics of discussion included practical cooperation on regional security challenges such as counterterrorism and drug and arms trafficking.
Calling upon neighboring states to preserve Syria’s unity and stability, Jordanian Minister of Foreign Affairs Ayman Safadi, said: “We condemn all attempts, groups and foreign interventions that target the security, sovereignty and peace of our sisterly Syria.”
He added: “We stand by the Syrian government in all measures it takes to protect the stability of Syria and the safety of its people, and to preserve the law and civil peace.”
On another occasion, Safadi received his Lebanese counterpart, Youssef Rajji, in Amman. They discussed ways to strengthen bilateral relations and the latest developments in Lebanon, according to a statement by Jordan’s Foreign Ministry.
During the talks, the two ministers reiterated their
countries’ commitments to deepen bilateral cooperation
and emphasized the urgent need to maintain a ceasefire in southern Lebanon.
Safadi reaffirmed Jordan’s full support for Lebanon’s security, stability and sovereignty, as well as its efforts to reactivate state institutions and advance reconstruction since electing a new president in January 2024.
For his part, Rajji expressed appreciation for Jordan’s support under the leadership of His Majesty King Abdullah II ibn Al Hussein, particularly its continuous efforts to mobilize international support to ensure the full implementation of the ceasefire.
Additionally, Safadi represented Jordan in the seventh joint ministerial meeting between the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and Jordan, held in March 2025 in Saudi Arabia.
The meeting was chaired by Kuwait’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Ali Abdullah al-Yahya and attended by the ministers of foreign affairs of GCC member states.
“Efforts are underway to address regional challenges, combat terrorism, and create a regional environment and future characterized by security, stability, peace, and relations based on respect for others and non-interference in their affairs,” Safadi said.
