Jordan's foreign minister Ayman Safadi arrived in Damascus on Wednesday in the first such visit since the Syrian conflict and will later head to Türkiye to show "solidarity" after the quake, an official source said.
The visit will focus on humanitarian needs and how Jordan, a neighbor that hosts tens of thousands of Syrian refugees, can help in ongoing relief operations, the source said.
"Safadi will discuss the humanitarian and aid needs that the two countries need," a statement from the foreign ministry said, adding that aid planes will fly to both countries on Wednesday.
Jordan has sent large shipments of aid to both countries with the kingdom sending a medical hospital to Türkiye and organizing several large flights and aid convoys through the country's northern border crossing with Syria.
Relations between the neighbors have been strained in recent years.
Jordan has criticized Damascus for failing to curb multi-billion-dollar drug smuggling operations through its borders that Amman blames on Iranian-backed militias who hold sway in southern Syria.
