Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi discussed on Monday with US Special Representative for Syria Engagement, James Jeffrey, "developments in the war on terror" and the latest developments in the Syrian file, according to a statement issued by the Jordanian Foreign Ministry.
Safadi discussed with Jeffrey and the accompanying delegation, which included Deputy Assistant Secretary and Special Envoy for Syria Joel Rayburn, the Syrian crisis and efforts to find a political solution to the conflict.
He stressed the need to intensify efforts to reach a political solution to the crisis that preserves the unity of Syria and is accepted by the people in line with UN Security Council resolution 2254 and via the Geneva negotiations process.
On Syrian refugees, Safadi briefed the US delegation on the “huge burdens Jordan had to bear as a host of 1.3 million Syrians,” urging the international community to shoulder its responsibility towards them, according to AFP.
He stressed that Jordan encourages the voluntary return of refugees to their country.
