Saudi Arabia and Jordan signed in Riyadh a protocol amending the minutes of establishing the Saudi-Jordanian Supreme Coordination Council, headed by Crown Prince and Prime Minister Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and King Abdullah II of Jordan, with the aim of enhancing cooperation and coordination in various fields to serve the interests of the two countries and their peoples.

This came after the Saudi Foreign Minister, Prince Faisal bin Farhan, received the Jordanian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriate Affairs, Ayman Al-Safadi, where the two sides discussed bilateral relations and ways to develop them, in addition to the latest developments in the regional situation and efforts aimed at reducing escalation and restoring security and stability.

Al-Safadi affirmed Jordan's full solidarity with Saudi Arabia in the face of the Houthi attacks, and that his country stands by the Kingdom in all the steps it takes to protect its security, stability, sovereignty, and the safety of its citizens and residents.

The discussions also addressed the importance of respecting international law, the principles of good neighborliness and non-interference in the affairs of states, and ensuring the safety and freedom of navigation in the Straits of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandab, which contributes to the stability of global markets and the smooth flow of trade.

The Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the two countries head the General Secretariat of the Council, while the Ministries of Foreign Affairs are responsible for following up on its work and preparing for its meetings and the meetings of its ministerial committees.
