Jordan to host US, Syrian officials on Tuesday to discuss rebuilding Syria
Jordan is to host a meeting with US and Syrian officials on Tuesday to discuss supporting the rebuilding of Syria after more than a decade of civil war and the ouster of former leader Bashar al-Assad by an Islamist-led rebellion in December.
Syrian foreign minister Asaad al-Shibani and US envoy to Syria Thomas Barrack will attend, Jordan’s foreign ministry says in a statement.
On Wednesday, Damascus signed 12 agreements worth $14 billion, including a $4 billion agreement with Qatar’s UCC Holding to build a new airport and a $2 billion deal to establish a subway in the Syrian capital with the United Arab Emirates’ national investment corporation.
