NATO Sets up Shop in Jordan With First Liaison Office in Arab World

The Hashemite monarchy has longstanding ties with the US-led alliance and has deployed troops to serve alongside NATO forces in the past

The Jordanian Foreign Ministry confirmed the opening of a NATO liaison office in Jordan on 11 July, saying in a statement that the office was established to “foster cooperation” with the alliance.

The decision “represents a milestone in the deep strategic partnership between Jordan and the Alliance,” it added.

NATO announced on its website one day earlier the establishment of the Jordan liaison office, its first-ever in the Arab world.

“Emphasizing the evolving regional and global security landscape, Allies at the 2024 NATO Summit in Washington DC adopted an action plan for a stronger, more strategic and result-oriented approach towards its southern neighborhood,” the alliance said.

“The plan clearly demonstrates NATO’s commitment to reinforcing engagement and cooperation with its partners in the Middle East and North Africa, including through the establishment of its first-ever liaison office in the region, in Amman, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan,” it added.

During a NATO summit in mid-July last year, the US-led alliance said in its closing statement that “explore with the Jordanian authorities the possibility” of opening a liaison office in the kingdom.
