Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem made a rare visit to Jordan on Sunday, signaling improved relations between the two Arab neighbors.
Moallem, who came for a one-day visit, met behind closed doors with Jordanian Prime Minister Nader al-Dahabi and then separately with Jordan's King Abdullah II. Moallem declined to say why he was in Jordan. He only gave a vague arrival statement to reporters, saying that Jordan and Syria ''are two brotherly neighbors, our people have unique ties and these visits persist because they enrich bilateral relations and tackle existing regional issues.''
