In a televised statement broadcast and reported by the Jordanian al-Mamlaka website, Safadi stated: “Syria is moving in the right direction toward rebuilding a free, sovereign, and independent homeland that safeguards the rights of all its people.”
The Jordanian Foreign Minister described the current relationship between Jordan and Syria as being “at its best.”
