Discussing recent developments in the region: Saudi-Jordanian coordination to enhance stability
His Highness Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah, Minister of Foreign Affairs, received a telephone call from His Excellency Ayman Safadi, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. During the call, they reviewed the strong bilateral relations between the two brotherly countries, discussed recent developments in the region, and emphasized the importance of coordinating joint efforts to maintain regional security and stability in light of current challenges.
Strong relationships and ongoing coordination to meet challenges
This contact comes within the framework of ongoing consultations between Riyadh and Amman, reflecting the depth of the historical and strategic relations that bind the two kingdoms. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan are linked by deep-rooted fraternal ties and broad shared interests, making coordination between them a cornerstone of the Arab security system. The two leaderships work continuously to unify their visions and positions on regional and international issues, stemming from their belief in a shared destiny and the necessity of collective action to overcome the crises plaguing the Middle East.
A unified stance against destabilizing the region
During the talks, both sides strongly condemned any actions that violate the sovereignty of states and threaten their security, referring to Iranian attacks and interventions targeting brotherly nations in the region such as the Kingdom of Bahrain and the State of Kuwait. The two ministers emphasized their categorical rejection of these practices, which undermine efforts to de-escalate tensions and exacerbate the existing situation, affirming their countries' unified stance against anything that threatens the security of the Arabian Gulf and the entire region.
The importance of de-escalation in light of recent developments in the region
These talks are of particular importance given the escalating tensions on the international stage, as Saudi and Jordanian diplomacy actively seeks to contain these tensions and prevent the region from sliding into wider conflicts. The contact underscores the pivotal role of both kingdoms as forces supporting stability, their commitment to prioritizing dialogue and political solutions, and their call upon the international community to uphold its responsibilities in maintaining international peace and security.
At the end of the call, the two ministers agreed to continue intensive consultation and coordination at all levels, in a way that serves the interests of the two countries and the two brotherly peoples, and contributes to strengthening security and stability in the Middle East region and the world.
