AMMAN — The Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army (JAF) on Monday received several vehicles as a grant from the Japanese government.

Japanese Ambassador to Jordan Shuichi Sakurai said his government last year presented $5.17 million for the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) to implement the “Improving Safety and Security to Respond to the Syrian Refugee Crisis” project.

Brig. Gen. Nasser Athamneh, chief of staff for strategic planning and defence resources at JAF, highlighted the “deep-rooted” relations between Amman and Tokyo, and expressed gratitude to Japan and UNOPS for the assistance, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
