Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Ayman Safadi will meet with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad Monday.

The ministry said that Safadi arrived in Damascus on an official visit, during which he will discuss bilateral relations with Syrian officials.

Other topics to be discussed are Arab relations with Syria and finding solutions for the crisis.

This is Safadi's second visit to Syria since last February and two months after the Amman meeting, which paved the way for Syria's return to the Arab League at the Jeddah summit.

An informed source told Roya earlier that Safadi's talks will focus on bilateral relations and ways to enhance them, including Jordan's assertion of the need to combat the smuggling of narcotics and weapons across the border between the two countries.
