Egypt's President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, Jordanian King Abdullah II, and Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi are set to hold a tripartite summit next week in Amman, according to Petra news agency.

The summit, held for the third time, will cover economic, trade, and investment cooperation among Jordan, Egypt, and Iraq, as well as regional developments.

The first trilateral summit was held in Cairo in March 2019, and the second summit was held in New York in September of the same year.

It is worth mentioning that, the three countries have also agreed to join hands in combating terrorism and follow up the Arab peace initiative to solve the Palestinian issue, while also working to further the Arab world’s role in Syria and strength economic, commercial and energy integration and cooperation between Baghdad, Amman, and Cairo within a specific time plan.

Energy and electrical interconnection projects are at the forefront of economic interests among the three countries.
