Cyprus, Greece and Jordan have reaffirmed their commitment to regional cooperation and stability following the fifth trilateral summit held in Amman.
In a joint declaration, Cyprus President Nikos Christodoulides, Jordan’s King Abdullah II and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis stressed the need for closer coordination amid what they described as a rapidly evolving regional and international environment.
The three leaders pledged to strengthen collaboration in trade, energy, investment, culture, transport infrastructure and supply chain resilience, aiming to position the Eastern Mediterranean as a “vital hub linking Europe and the Arab region.”
The declaration also expressed “deep concern over the dangerous escalation in the Middle East” and called for intensified international efforts to de-escalate tensions, maintain the ceasefire between the United States and Iran, and ensure freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.

On the Palestinian issue, the leaders reiterated support for a two-state solution as “the only path to a just and lasting peace,” while rejecting settlement expansion, annexation attempts and displacement of Palestinians. Cyprus and Greece also reaffirmed support for Jordan’s custodial role over holy sites in Jerusalem.
The declaration further addressed Lebanon, Syria and the Cyprus issue, reaffirming support for Lebanon’s sovereignty, Syria’s reconstruction and a comprehensive Cyprus settlement based on a bizonal, bicommunal federation in line with UN resolutions.
The leaders also welcomed Cyprus assuming the Presidency of the Council of the European Union in January 2026 and praised the launch of the Cyprus Regional Aerial Firefighting Station in Paphos as a step toward stronger regional disaster response cooperation.
The sixth trilateral summit will be held in Greece next year.
