Jordan, Greece and Cyprus reaffirmed their support for Syria’s sovereignty, unity and long-term stability during a trilateral summit in Amman, describing the country’s recovery as essential to broader regional security.
The remarks came during a joint press conference following talks hosted by Jordan’s King Abdullah II with Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis. The summit focused on regional developments, including the situation in Syria, Lebanon and the Palestinian territories.
Regional Leaders Stress Syria’s Importance
Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi said the countries agreed Syria’s stability remains a key factor in maintaining security across the region. “The leaders emphasized the importance of Syria’s stability and supporting it on its path toward recovery, which will positively reflect on the region as a whole,” Safadi said during the press conference.
Safadi added the participating countries rejected interference in the internal affairs of states and stressed the need to preserve Lebanon’s sovereignty and stability. He said the summit also backed international efforts aimed at strengthening security and political stability in Lebanon. The ministers presented a unified position on the importance of preventing further regional instability.
Calls for Inclusive Governance in Syria
Greek Foreign Minister Giorgos Gerapetritis voiced support for a unified Syrian state representing all communities equally. He stressed the need for political structures protecting the rights and security of all Syrians without ethnic or religious discrimination. Gerapetritis called for stronger neighborly relations and adherence to international law as part of efforts to support long-term peace and stability in the region.
Cypriot Foreign Minister Constantinos Kombos echoed those concerns, saying Syria’s future stability is directly tied to the security of neighboring countries. He added that achieving sustainable stability would require coordinated international and regional cooperation. The three officials emphasized diplomatic engagement and political inclusion remain necessary for Syria’s recovery after years of conflict and economic hardship.
Palestinian Issue Remains Central
Alongside discussions on Syria, the summit addressed the Palestinian issue and ongoing tensions in the region. Safadi said the leaders discussed intensifying efforts to reach what he described as a just and comprehensive solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
According to Safadi, the talks supported the establishment of a Palestinian state along the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital. He also thanked Greece and Cyprus for their positions supporting stability in the West Bank and Jerusalem.
The ministers additionally stressed the importance of maintaining freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, warning that further escalation in the region could have wider security and economic consequences.
