Jordan is to host a meeting with U.S. and Syrian officials on Tuesday to discuss supporting the rebuilding of Syria after more than a decade of conflict and the ouster of former leader Bashar al-Assad by an Islamist-led rebellion in December.
Syrian foreign minister Asaad al-Shibani and the U.S. envoy to Syria Thomas Barrack will attend, Jordan's foreign ministry said in a statement on Sunday.
On Wednesday, Damascus signed 12 agreements worth $14 billion, including a $4 billion agreement with Qatar's UCC holding to build a new airport and a $2 billion deal to establish a subway in the Syrian capital with the United Arab Emirates' national investment corporation.
