Hassan also emphasized that Syria’s stability and security are not just a national interest for Jordan but a strategic priority for the entire Arab region.
"We aspire to witness a new phase where Syria can overcome the painful events it has endured over many years," he said. He detailed the repercussions of the conflict, including violence, terrorism, and the proliferation of drug cartels and militias, noting that these challenges have extended into Jordan.
The Prime Minister commended the Jordanian Armed Forces and security agencies for their unwavering efforts in protecting the Kingdom and its people.
Looking ahead, Dr. Hassan expressed hope for the initiation of an inclusive political process in Syria. He affirmed Jordan’s continued support for the Syrian people, promising urgent humanitarian assistance and calling on the international community to step up aid efforts.
