Former Jordanian Prime Minister Bisher Al Khasawneh told The National on Monday that Jordan's relations with Syria are at a 30-year high point, despite recent air strikes in southern Syria that killed at least seven people. The remarks came as Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi visited Damascus for the Syrian-Jordanian Higher Co-ordination Council. Mr. Al Khasawneh noted that under Syria's President Ahmad Al Shara, the situation has improved, with Jordan assisting in security, administration, and institution-building. He also addressed the persistent threat of terrorist groups like ISIS and emphasized that the national security of the GCC remains a pillar of Jordanian national security.
