Amman: Minister of Government Communication and Spokesperson Mohammad Momani met on Sunday with Syrian Minister of Information Hamza Al-Mustafa to discuss strengthening media exchange, professional training, and capacity building, as part of expanding bilateral coordination and reinforcing ties between the two countries. Momani said Jordan is placing its media expertise at Syria's disposal in line with directives of His Majesty King Abdullah II, supporting efforts to strengthen Syrian state institutions and deepen cooperation across multiple sectors.
According to Jordan News Agency, the talks focused on practical mechanisms to advance Jordanian-Syrian media collaboration, emphasizing the importance of integrated government action in shared priority areas. Joint teams and coordination committees are already operating across several tracks, with the overall atmosphere described as positive. Momani reaffirmed Jordan's position toward Syria as grounded in respect for Syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity, rejecting interference in its internal affairs or any threat to its national security. He also noted that around 200,000 Syrians have returned permanently to Syria following the departure of the former regime.
The meeting reflects an advanced level of political and media coordination and signals a new phase based on practical partnership and sustained institutional coordination to serve mutual interests. Al-Mustafa underscored the depth and historical resilience of Syrian-Jordanian relations, describing the current period as a pivotal opportunity to rebuild media ties on new foundations after years of disruption.
He expressed the Syrian Ministry of Information's eagerness to maintain structured engagement with Jordan's Ministry of Government Communication and benefit from Jordan's experience in developing professional media that strengthens the role of independent and private-sector outlets alongside the government's role in managing public messaging. Syrian leadership has issued directives to upgrade bilateral relations across sectors and remove obstacles, particularly in transport. The Syrian government is working to create enabling conditions for refugee returns to accelerate recovery and reconstruction, praising Jordan's hosting of Syrian refugees and its treatment of them in a manner reflecting the close ties between the two peoples.
