The main purpose of the session was to confirm partnership priorities for the 2021–2027 period and to take stock of progress in EU–Jordan bilateral relations. The chairs also led a discussion on the situation in the region (Middle East Peace Process, Syria, trilateral cooperation between Egypt, Jordan and Iraq) and the Russian aggression on Ukraine.
