Cyprus, Greece, and Jordan hold fifth trilateral summit in Amman

On May 6, 2026, the fifth trilateral summit between Cyprus, Greece, and Jordan took place in Amman at the Al Husseinyieh Palace. President Nikos Christodoulides, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, and King Abdullah II met to discuss regional stability, the situation in Gaza, the conflict with Iran, and the sovereignty of Lebanon. The summit, part of a series initiated in 2018, served as a platform for the leaders to review existing cooperation frameworks and address EU–Jordanian relations. President Christodoulides held bilateral discussions with King Abdullah II and the Crown Prince, Al Hussein bin Abdullah II, to emphasize Cyprus's role as a bridge between the European Union and the Middle East. King Abdullah II stressed the importance of ending hostilities and ensuring humanitarian aid reaches Gaza. While the leaders expressed solidarity, some regional tensions were noted as justification for continued diplomatic dialogue. Cyprus currently holds the presidency of the Council of the European Union, which the government highlighted as a key factor in strengthening these regional partnerships.
