Jordan's King Abdullah II is expected to pay an official ‏visit to Syria soon, Foreign Minister Marwan Al-Muashar said, cited by a Jordanian daily. Al-Muashar did not mention the date of the expected visit. 

 

Last month, a diplomatic row broke out between Amman and Damascus after King Abdullah II told CNN that the borders between Syria and Iraq were too porous.  

 

Meanwhile, Al-Muashar also told Al-Arab Al-Yawm that Israel's Foreign Minister Silvan‏ Shalom is due to visit Jordan late January.‏  

 

"The visit [of the Israeli minister] will not result in returning the Jordanian Ambassador to Tel Aviv unless conditions that led to this measure will improve."‏ (Albawaba.com)
