The summit was attended by the foreign and defense ministers of Jordan, Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon, as well as the chiefs of staff and intelligence heads of these countries. The discussions focused on issues related to regional stability, counterterrorism efforts, and border security.
During the talks, special attention was given to the situation in Syria, which remains one of the key points of tension in the Middle East.

A major topic of discussion was defense cooperation. Turkey is actively increasing its presence in the region, strengthening ties with Arab countries, and proposing joint measures to ensure security. Turkish representatives emphasized the importance of intelligence cooperation between the countries to counter cross-border threats, including the activities of extremist groups and illegal arms shipments.
Jordan, for its part, expressed concern about the rise of radical elements in the region, which could affect border security and internal stability. King Abdullah II noted that strengthening defense cooperation between the countries should be a key direction of the policy aimed at ensuring security in the region.
Iraq and Lebanon also voiced their positions, focusing on counterterrorism efforts and the influence of external forces on the domestic political situation. Lebanese authorities expressed concern about economic instability, which is exacerbated by the ongoing crisis in Syria and the strengthening of armed groups. Iraqi representatives stressed that their country is facing the consequences of extremist organizations' activities, making cooperation with neighboring states especially important.
The talks in Amman confirmed that Turkey continues to actively build diplomatic ties with Arab countries, aiming to strengthen its influence in the region. The meeting could be another step toward developing military and intelligence cooperation, allowing summit participants to coordinate efforts in the field of security.
