ERBIL (Kurdistan24) — In a move underscoring the growing diplomatic engagement between Erbil and Amman, Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani arrived in Amman, the capital of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, on Sunday for an official visit aimed at deepening bilateral ties and enhancing strategic cooperation.

During this important diplomatic mission, Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani is scheduled to meet with His Majesty King Abdullah II of Jordan. According to official sources, their discussions will focus on strengthening relations between Iraq, the Kurdistan Region, and the Kingdom of Jordan, with particular emphasis on expanding economic, political, and security cooperation.

The visit comes at a time when regional dynamics are increasingly complex, and both sides are seeking to bolster partnerships that contribute to stability and prosperity.

Beyond his meeting with King Abdullah II, President Nechirvan Barzani is also expected to hold a series of talks with a number of senior Jordanian officials. These discussions are anticipated to cover a wide range of issues, including trade facilitation, investment opportunities, counterterrorism efforts, and cultural exchanges.

This visit highlights the Kurdistan Region’s broader strategy of cultivating strong diplomatic relationships with key Arab states, a policy that has gained momentum in recent years amid shifting alliances and geopolitical transformations in the Middle East.

The Kurdistan Region and Jordan have traditionally enjoyed warm relations, built on mutual economic interests and shared concerns over regional security. Observers view President Nechirvan Barzani’s visit as a reaffirmation of these ties and an opportunity to open new avenues of collaboration in fields such as energy, education, and infrastructure development.
