The prime minister made the remarks at a meeting with a visiting Saudi delegation led by Minister of Transport Abdullah Al Meqbel.

Ensour said Jordan is keen on boosting its cooperation with Saudi Arabia in various areas, and the cooperation potential is huge.

On Wednesday, Jordan summoned the Iranian ambassador in Amman to condemn the attack on Saudi embassy in Tehran and Iran's interference in Saudi's internal affairs. Endit
