The conversation focussed in Jordan's pivotal role on realising peace and stability in the Middle East.

His Majesty and the delegation reviewed the developments of the Syrian crisis and the situation in Iraq, as well as the war against terrorism and Jordanian-Russian-American agreement to support a ceasefire in southern Syria and establishing the de-escalation zone, which would contribute to reaching a political solution.
For the their part, the delegation members voiced their appreciation for Jordan's stances, under His Majesty's leadership, that support international peace and stability.
