Jordan FM discusses Amman meeting regionally, internationally
DAMASCUS, Syria (North Press) – Jordan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ayman Safadi phoned on Monday a number of Arab and international officials, informing them about the outcomes of Amman Consultative Meeting regarding the Syrian issue.
Jordan News Agency (Petra) said that Safadi had phoned foreign ministers of Algeria, Ahmad Attaf; and Tunisia, Nabil Ammar.
On May 1, the Amman Consultative Meeting including foreign ministers of Syria, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, and Iraq ended and released a concluding statement, including several terms to resolve the Syrian crisis.
The Tunisian Foreign Ministry said, in a statement, that Safadi had discussed with Ammar the delivery of the humanitarian aid to the Syrian People, tackling the issues of refugees, IDPs, and missing people, and finding a permanent and extensive solution for the Syrian crisis.
Ammar stressed that his country supports the efforts to restore stability and security in Syria, and maintain its sovereignty and territory, according to the statement.
In addition, Safadi phoned his Turkish counterpart Mevlut Cavusoglu, the Secretary General of the Arab League Ahmad Aboul Gheit, and the UN Special Envoy for Syria Geir Pedersen, informing them about the outcomes of the meeting.
“Safadi stressed in his phone calls that the meeting is a positive initiation to tackle all the Syrian crisis’ repercussions and find a political solution for it, based on the “step-for-step” approach and the UN Security Council Resolution NO. 2254, and according to Arab efforts to solve the crisis,” Petra added.
In December 2021, Pedersen talked about implementing a step-for-step approach, a policy pursued by some countries in their rapprochement with Damascus, as Washington and its allies have to lift or ease some sanctions on the Syrian government, in exchange for Moscow pushing the government to make progress on the stalled attempts at reaching a political solution.
In December 2015, the UN Security Council adopted a resolution, endorsing a “Road Map for Peace Process in Syria” which calls for a ceasefire and settlement to the civil war in Syria between the Syrian government and the opposition. However, the resolution has not been achieved yet.
