Ammon News - Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Ayman Safadi stressed that the new administration in Syria faces major challenges and a heavy burden and must be given time to confront them and we must assist them in their mission, stressing the importance of the visit of the high-level Syrian delegation to the capital Amman and the joint talks that were held.

In a press conference on Tuesday with his Syrian counterpart Assad al-Sheibani, Safadi said that Jordan stands by the Syrian people and respects their will, and Jordan will remain a supporter of Syria and we will provide all the support we can to support our brothers.

The stability of Syria means the stability of Jordan, and the security of Syria reflects positively on Jordan, Safadi added.

The Jordanian armed forces have confronted all smuggling attempts on the border over the past years, explaining that the Syrian people deserve a free homeland after years of suffering, as joint committees will be formed with the Syrian side concerned with security, energy and other fields, in addition to discussing border security, the danger of drug and weapons smuggling and the threats posed by ISIS in the region, he noted.

Safadi also confirmed Jordan's readiness to provide electricity to Syria immediately.
