Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi expresses his country’s support for Syria’s reconstruction in a meeting with its new leader Ahmed al-Sharaa, in the latest visit to Damascus by a high-profile delegation since Bashar al-Assad’s overthrow.
It is the first trip to Syria by a senior Jordanian official since Assad’s fall, with images distributed by the Jordanian foreign ministry showing Safadi and Sharaa shaking hands.
Jordan’s official Al-Mamlaka TV reports that Safadi discussed avenues of cooperation with the new authorities, including in the areas of trade, border management, aid and electricity connections, along with security.
Safadi expresses support for “a government that represents all spectrums in Syria,” as well as for “the drafting of a new constitution,” according to Al-Mamlaka.
“We agree to support the Syrian people in rebuilding their state,” he is quoted as saying, adding that “the Arab countries agree to support Syria at this stage without any external interference.”
