- Latest meeting continues earlier discussions in Amman on July 18
DUBAI: Jordan on Tuesday hosted a trilateral meeting with American and Syrian officials to discuss the situation in the war-ravaged nation and find ways to support reconstruction efforts, Amman’s foreign ministry said.
The meeting aims to “support the country’s reconstruction on foundations that safeguard its security, stability, and sovereignty, while meeting the aspirations of the Syrian people and protecting the rights of all Syrians,” a statement carried by state news agency Petra said.
The talks were attended by Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shibani, US Special Envoy for Syria Thomas Barrack as well as representatives of relevant institutions from the three countries, continuing earlier discussions in Amman on July 18 that focused on consolidating the ceasefire in Syria’s southern province of Sweida, and addressing the crisis there.
The violence between Druze fighters and Sunni Bedouins in July ultimately drew the intervention of government forces and tribal fighters who came to support the Bedouins, as well as the Israeli military, which carried out strikes in support of the Druze.
