Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign and Expatriate Affairs Ayman Safadi and Syria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Asaad Al-Shaibani on Sunday co-chaired the second session of the Jordanian-Syrian Higher Coordination Council at the ministerial level, during which 10 memorandums of understanding and a cooperation agreement were signed.
