A TRILATERAL summit brought together Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah Al-Sisi, Jordanian King Abdullah and Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi in Amman on Tuesday. The summit, which comes within the framework of a trilateral cooperation mechanism between the three countries, addressed economic issues, trade and investment cooperation, as well as regional developments.

The leaders, who seek to restore stability in the region, took the opportunity of past summits to exchange views on crucial regional issues and common security challenges.
