Ammon News - The European Council adopted an assistance measure under the European Peace Facility (EPF) worth €13.25 million in support of the Jordanian Armed Forces (JAF).

According to the statement, the assistance measure will contribute to strengthening the capacities of JAF, to increase their ability to ensure Jordan’s stability and national security, and protect the civilian population.

The Council also confirmed that the decision is an expression of the increasing EU-Jordan partnership, including in the field of security and defence.

"Jordan is a key partner for the EU and its member states, in view of its instrumental role for the stability of the region, as a voice of moderation and peace," the Council said.

At the 15th EU-Jordan Association Council held on 15 July 2024 in Brussels, the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell and the Jordanian Deputy Prime Minister/Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi agreed to further upgrade bilateral relations by launching preparations for a Strategic and Comprehensive Partnership. This will allow to further advance cooperation between the EU and Jordan in key areas of mutual interest, including in the field of security and defence.
