Modi arrived in Jordan on the first leg of a three-nation tour that will also take him to Ethiopia and Oman. This is the first full-fledged bilateral visit to Jordan after 37 years, and coincides with the 75th anniversary of diplomatic ties. Modi was received at the airport in Amman by his Jordanian counterpart Jafar Hassan and given a ceremonial welcome.

King Abdullah and Modi later held talks at Al Husseiniya Palace, and their discussions focused on strengthening cooperation in a wide range of spheres. They also held talks on regional and global issues, including the situation in Gaza.

“Held productive discussions with His Majesty King Abdullah II in Amman. His personal commitment towards vibrant India Jordan relations is noteworthy,” Modi said on social media.
