Jordan says not yet ready to open Nassib border
Jordan will reopen its border with Syria only when it is ready, Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi said on Thursday (August 2), Reuters reported.

Assad regime said this week the road was ready for use but Safadi said he had received no request to reopen it.

“We will deal with the request with all positiveness that serves our interests,” he told a news conference with visiting French Foreign Minster Jean-Yves Le Drian. “Matters have to stabilize,” he said.

Safadi said he discussed reopening the crossing with Moscow.

“Jordan in principle wants open borders with all its neighbours. But when and how (Nassib opening) this will depend on when we ensure our interests and our security,” he added.

The crossing’s recapture by Assad regime was a central goal of a campaign launched last June by the Assad regime and Russia to regain control of opposition-held parts of the southwest.
