Safadi, diplomatic missions touch base on services for Jordanians living abroad

AMMAN — Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi on Monday held conference calls with heads of the Kingdom’s diplomatic missions overseas to discuss the missions’ measures to serve Jordanians abroad in light of the coronavirus crisis, according to a ministry statement.

Safadi and the mission heads discussed efforts to serve Jordanians living abroad according to emergency plans that had been activated to handle the current circumstances.
