During the meeting, the Khasawneh conveyed the greetings of King Abdullah to Prime Minister Barzani.
Both sides also condemned Monday’s missile attacks on Erbil, which are “an unjust violation of Iraqi sovereignty.”
Discussions also focused on the further development of relations between the Kurdistan Region and the Kingdom of Jordan, particularly in the fields of investment and trade.
Jordanian and Kurdish relations have witnessed “improvements” over the course of the Cabinet's four years, including in the health and investment sectors, Jordanian Consul General in Erbil Fuad al-Majali told Kurdistan 24 in early July 2023.
Last June, the Kurdistan-Jordan Health Week and Forum were launched in Erbil, in the presence of Prime Minister Barzani and Jordanian Health Minister Firas al-Hawari. The forum sought to boost healthcare ties between the two nations.
