Peshmerga Minister Joins Trilateral Jordan-Syria-Iraq Military Talks on Border Security

 Peregraf - Jordan's Armed Forces hosted a high-level military meeting in Amman on [date], bringing together senior officers from Jordan, Syria, and Iraq, along with Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Minister of Peshmerga Affairs Shoresh Ismail, to discuss border security and ways to deepen coordination.

The meeting brought together Chairman of Jordan's Joint Chiefs of Staff, Maj. Gen. Yousef Ahmad Al-Huneiti; the chief of staff of the Syrian army; the chief of staff of the Iraqi army; and KRG Minister of Peshmerga Affairs Shoresh Ismail.

In a statement, the Jordanian army said the meeting underscored the continuity of ties between the participating countries and their shared interest in deepening them further, while strengthening military cooperation at a time when the region is facing fast-moving security challenges. The goal, it said, is to serve common interests and help stabilize the wider region.

Participants focused heavily on regional and border security, given the current climate, and discussed how to better coordinate in the face of cross-border threats.

The statement quoted attendees stressing the need to keep communication open and continue sharing information and expertise, so the parties involved are better equipped to respond to emerging challenges. They agreed that developments in the region demand closer coordination and more joined-up efforts going forward.

Officials also said that protecting borders and countering threats calls for sustained, coordinated action — work they described as essential for regional states to defend their sovereignty and maintain stability. They pointed to the need to broaden military and security cooperation to stay ready for both current and future challenges.

On the sidelines of the meeting, Al-Huneiti held a separate sit-down with US Central Command (CENTCOM) chief Gen. Brad Cooper. The two discussed ongoing military cooperation, the latest security developments across the region, and joint efforts to support stability.

The gathering is the latest step in Amman's push to strengthen ties with neighboring armies as part of its broader strategy to secure the region's shared borders.
