Amman, Sept. 1 (Petra) -- The Embassy of Azerbaijan in Amman praised Jordan’s support for the peace process between Azerbaijan and Armenia, citing official statements from the Ministry of Foreign and Expatriates Affairs backing progress toward an agreement between the two countries.

In a statement, the embassy referred to Jordan’s support for the agreement reached by the Azerbaijan-Armenia border delimitation commission and the conclusion of negotiations on the draft agreement on establishment of peace and relations between the two countries.

The embassy noted that His Majesty King Abdullah II held a phone call with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev on August 11, 2025, during which the King congratulated Aliyev and the Azerbaijani people and expressed hope that the agreements reached would contribute to lasting peace, security, and comprehensive cooperation in the region.

It also noted that Aliyev met Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on Monday on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in Bishkek, where they discussed practical steps to consolidate lasting peace and normalise relations between their countries.

The two leaders underscored the importance of the Washington Peace Summit held on August 8, 2025, the joint declaration signed by Aliyev and Pashinyan in the presence of US President Donald Trump, and the initialling of the agreed text of the agreement on the establishment of peace and relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia.

They also discussed strengthening economic, trade, and energy cooperation, as well as connectivity projects under the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity, continued work by government commissions on border delimitation, and confidence-building contacts between the two countries’ societies.

The two sides agreed to continue steps aimed at strengthening lasting peace, normalising relations, and enhancing connectivity between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
