Al-Shaibaani and Barrack were in Amman for a tripartite Jordanian-Syrian-US meeting to follow up on talks last month on Syria's situation and reconstruction efforts.
On Monday, King Abdullah and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman discussed developments in Gaza and the West Bank, as well as mutual concerns and Saudi-Jordanian relations, at Neom Palace.
