The two leaders discussed bilateral relations and ways of enhancing cooperation, the Jordanian palace statement said.
Jordan supports Syria’s territorial integrity and efforts to preserve its "stability and sovereignty", the statement said.
Since last week, Jordan has fully opened a border gate with Syria to promote bilateral investment and trade. It also pledges to allow the Royal Jordanian airline to resume direct flights to Syria.
