The Jordanian government commended the efforts of Saudi Arabia and its key role in hosting talks between the United States and Russia, affirming its support for all efforts aimed at ending the war and achieving international security and peace.

The spokesperson of the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Ambassador Sufyan Al-Qudah welcomed the diplomatic efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine war, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Thursday.

Al-Qudah described the recent phone call between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin as a significant step toward halting the conflict and bolstering regional and global security.

He emphasized the importance of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine war by hosting talks between the US and Russia next Sunday in Jeddah.

Oman's Sultan Haitham bin Tariq al-Said is set to visit Moscow on Monday, days after the start of a round of Muscat-mediated nuclear talks between the US and Iran.

The sultan will hold talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday, the Kremlin said, Reuters reported.

Iran and the US started a new round of nuclear talks in Rome on Saturday to resolve their decades-long standoff over Tehran's atomic aims, under the shadow of President Donald Trump's threat to unleash military action if diplomacy fails.

Ahead of Saturday's talks, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi met his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov in Moscow. Following the meeting, Lavrov said Russia was "ready to assist, mediate and play any role that will be beneficial to Iran and the U.S.A."

The sultan's meetings in Moscow visit will focus on cooperation on regional and global issues, the Omani state news agency and the Kremlin said, without providing further detail.

The two leaders are also expected to discuss trade and economic ties, the Kremlin added.
