Riyadh – Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman received Jordan’s Crown Prince Hussein bin Abdullah in the Saudi capital on Tuesday, 3 November 2026. The meeting began with the exchange of formal salutations: Jordan’s King Abdullah II sent his greetings to Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed, while the Saudi Crown Prince conveyed King Salman’s regards to the Jordanian monarch.

During the reception, Crown Prince Hussein expressed Jordan’s strong condemnation of the terrorist attacks launched by the Houthi militia against Saudi Arabia. He affirmed that Jordan stands unequivocally with the Kingdom in confronting any threat to its security, the safety of its citizens and the wellbeing of residents on Saudi soil. The Jordanian prince also voiced full support for the measures Saudi authorities are taking to protect the nation’s critical assets.

Both leaders highlighted the deep historical relationship that links the Saudi and Jordanian peoples. They reiterated a shared commitment to expanding cooperation in a wide range of fields, including security, trade, investment, cultural exchange and tourism. While no specific agreements were announced, the discussion underscored the intention to broaden collaborative projects and strengthen institutional ties.

The meeting reflects the broader regional context in which Saudi Arabia and Jordan continue to coordinate closely on security challenges, particularly the ongoing conflict in Yemen and the threat posed by Houthi missile and drone attacks. Jordan’s public denunciation of the attacks aligns with its longstanding partnership with Riyadh in counter‑terrorism efforts and in supporting stability across the Arabian Peninsula.

Both princes also touched on the importance of preserving the heritage of the two holy mosques and ensuring safe pilgrimage routes, a topic of mutual concern given the upcoming Hajj season. The dialogue reaffirmed the two kingdoms’ dedication to safeguarding the religious and cultural significance of the sites for Muslims worldwide.

The visit concludes a series of high‑level exchanges that have characterized Saudi‑Jordanian relations over recent years. By reaffirming solidarity against external threats and expressing a willingness to deepen cooperation, the two crowns aim to bolster a partnership that has long served as a stabilising factor in the Gulf and Levant regions.
