The talks also dealt with the impact of the Syria crisis on Jordan and the influx of Syrian refugees which had further strained the Kingdom's already limited resources.

Cooperation in the solar and renewable energy sector as well the chance for Jordan to benefit from the newly-discovered natural gas off Cyprus's shores also figured high on the meeting.
