Jordan urges joint global action against unconventional terror threats

Xinhua, May 10, 2016 Adjust font size:

Jordan on Monday called for a joint global action to counter the unconventional terror threats that are taking advantage of the digital space to spread their ideology.

Chairman of the joint chiefs of staff of the Jordan Armed Forces Mashal Al-Zaben made the remarks at the opening of a conference for world's army commanders taking part in the 11th Special Operations Forces Exhibition 2016.

"Regional development made Jordan resort to equipping its army with the latest weapons and equipment while focusing on enhancing the capabilities of the border guards," he said.

The participants at the event called for more efforts to fight terrorist groups, stressing the importance of joint collaboration and sharing expertise in this regard.

A total of 105 delegates from 54 countries, including leaders, ministers of defense and senior army officers, will attend the event, which will run through May 12.

Over 380 companies from 37 countries will be showcasing the latest equipment used in special operations related to national security. Endit
