Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi arrived in Syria for coordination talks, Anadolu Agency reported, as the countries prepared to discuss projects involving food security, energy, water and transport at a bilateral council session.
Plans called for the Higher Coordination Council’s third session to take place Nov. 8-9 in Damascus. The council last met in Amman in April.
Safadi and his Syrian counterpart set the council’s project agenda at an Oct. 22 meeting. They also discussed the council’s work since April and wider cooperation.
The visit followed a dispute over Jordanian airstrikes in Syria on Oct. 26. Jordan said it had coordinated the operation with Damascus, while Syrian officials said the strikes had not been coordinated in advance. Syrian officials reported seven civilians killed in the strikes.
On Oct. 28, the foreign ministers agreed to form a committee to review the strikes and their consequences and strengthen field coordination and intelligence sharing.
