The discussion focused on security and technical issues, which included reducing the threat of missiles and delivery vehicles and technical measures needed to build confidence towards Iran’s nuclear program and cooperation on nuclear fuel among other issues, the state news agency of Jordan, Petra, reported on Monday.
The dialogue session was held in an atmosphere of mutual respect and a desire of both parties to enhance regional stability, stated Ayman Khalil, Secretary-General of the Arab Institute for Security Studies.
Khalil indicated that it is expected that other dialogue sessions will be hosted in Amman in the near future to follow up on the recommendations of the security and technical dialogue and to formulate its details.
A senior Iranian diplomat told Reuters that no Iranian official attended the session.
“What was held in Amman was not an official meeting. But of course such meetings between academics are useful to give better understanding about realities between the two neighbors,” the diplomat added.
There was no immediate comment from Saudi Arabia on the security dialogue in Amman.
The two neighbors have had four rounds of negotiations so far in order to ease tensions on several issues.
