What happened
On October 13, 2025, Secretary (South) Neena Malhotra met Secretary General Daifallah Ali Al-Fayez and Ambassador Mohammed Abu Wendi, Director of Asia and Oceania Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates of Jordan, during her official visit. The discussions covered the full spectrum of bilateral ties, including political, economic, trade, defence, cultural, and people-to-people cooperation, and reaffirmed the importance of dialogue and peaceful resolution of conflicts.
Why it matters to India
The visit reinforces the longstanding friendly relations between India and Jordan on the 75th year of diplomatic ties. Engagements with the Indian diaspora, business, and cultural representatives, along with agreements to hold the next Foreign Office Consultations in New Delhi, highlight India’s commitment to strengthening economic, cultural, and strategic cooperation in the region.
