Jordan-Syria-US meeting held in Amman
Foreign ministers from Syria and Jordan, as well as a United States envoy have met in Amman to discuss ways to support the rebuilding of Syria under its new government, as Damascus seeks investment deals with international companies to revive an economy battered by 14 years of civil war. Syria's Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday that its top diplomat Asaad Al Shaibani met with Jordan's Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi and US envoy for Syria Tom Barrack to discuss 'ways of strengthening cooperation and coordination between the three sides' to serve Syria's stability, 'sovereignty and regional security'. Damascus said the sides had agreed to form a working group 'to support the Syrian government's efforts to consolidate the ceasefire in [Suwayda] province, and work to find a comprehensive solution to the crisis'. The Jordanian-Syrian-American meeting was a continuation of discussions held between the officials in Amman on July 19 about deadly clashes in the Druze-majority Syrian province of Suwayda, where a week of sectarian violence killed 1,400 people before a ceasefire put an end to the bloodshed.
