In a joint press conference with Al-Miqdad, Safadi said that his meeting with President Assad dealt in depth with bilateral issues, and efforts to reach a political solution to the Syrian crisis that “ends this catastrophe and addresses all its humanitarian, security and political consequences, and guarantees Syria’s unity, territorial integrity and sovereignty, and achieves the aspirations of the brotherly Syrian people, saves it from terrorism, and create conditions that allow the voluntary return of Syrian refugees. Safadi added that his meeting with the Syrian President and his talks with Al-Miqdad resulted in an agreement to hold a meeting of the joint committee on water to deal with this issue, and meetings between the transport ministers of the two countries in order to address issues related to the transport sector, and other technical meetings that deal with bilateral issues and contribute to increasing cooperation, which reflects well on the two brotherly countries and peoples. Safadi indicated that forming a joint committee to deal with the drug smuggling issue in implementation of the Amman Declaration, and to hold its first meeting as soon as possible, was also agreed upon. Safadi said that drug smuggling through Syria to Jordan is a real and escalating danger that must be faced with cooperation, and that the Kingdom will continue to do everything necessary to “protect our national security from this danger.”
