The Jordanian army announced in a statement that it will deploy military forces and vehicles on the road leading from Queen Alia International Airport to the Dead Sea region to secure a regional summit that brings together Iraq and neighboring countries with the participation of France, similar to the Baghdad conference in August 2021, according to “AFP”.

The statement quoted a military official in the General Command of the Armed Forces as saying that this deployment on the road from the airport, which is 30 km south of Amman, to the Dead Sea region (50 km west of Amman), will come “in preparation for the launch of the Baghdad Conference for Cooperation and Partnership in its second edition, which will be held in Jordan on Tuesday.”

The conference, which will be held “with the participation of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Egypt, Iraq and a number of countries expected to participate, including France,” will discuss “challenges related to food security, drug security and energy in the region and the world,” according to the statement.
