Gen. Kurilla met with Maj. Gen. Yousef Al-Hnaity, Chairman of the Jordanian Joint Chiefs of Staff, and other key Jordanian Armed Forces leaders. The leaders discussed deepening the bilateral defense relationship, enhancing regional security, and expanding the military-to-military relationship.

They also discussed the Kingdom’s efforts to strengthen border security. Gen. Kurilla highlighted the Kingdom’s efforts to support the Defeat-ISIS mission throughout the region and work to advance a lasting ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon.
