Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad stressed Kuwait's firm stance in supporting Jordan in its response to the threat of terrorism and extremism and in promoting peace, security and human values, which martyred pilot Muath Kasasbeh died defending.

During the talks, the two leaders reviewed developments in Syria and Iraq.

His Majesty King Abdullah II held a luncheon in honor of Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad and his accompanying delegation, attended by a number of senior officials of both countries.

The King and civilian and military officials bid farewell to Sheikh Sabah, and his accompanying delegation, at Marka airport, on the conclusion of his visit to the Kingdom.
