Ferdosipour stressed the importance of closer consultations and visits between the two sides’ officials and holding meetings of advisory political and security committees. The Jordanian minister visited Tehran in March 2015 and held talks on ways to promote Tehran-Amman ties and the developments in the Middle East region such as the fight against terrorism and extremism.
