King Abdullah II of Jordan discussed bilateral relations with Syrian interim President Ahmed Al-Sharaa on Thursday via a phone call, according to Arab News.
The call followed the signing of a significant agreement between both countries to establish the Higher Coordination Council, a step seeks to boost collaboration in major sectors such as water, energy and trade.
Importantly, the new council will institutionalize cooperation and increase opportunities for both nations.
In this regard, the King emphasized Jordan’s support for Syria’s security, stability and territorial integrity.
Meanwhile, Al-Sharaa commended Jordanian support for boosting Syria’s international presence that completely collapsed during Assad’s era.
Furthermore, both leaders stressed the dire need to increase efforts to ensure the stability of southern Syria and strengthen border security.
Since the fall of Al-Assad in December, the new Syrian government has been attempting to build strong relations with Western countries in order to alleviate the harsh sanctions of US and its allies imposed during Asaad’s rule.
Importantly, the US and the UK have recently lifted sanctions on Syria, allowing the new government to build its economy and achieve the aspirations of Syrians.
Currently, the new government seeks to restore relations with Western and Arab countries as well as establishing new diplomatic relations to boost its stability and security.
