AMMAN — European Council President Donald Tusk is expected to discuss issues of common concern with senior officials Sunday, a source said.
The European official was due in Amman Saturday night.
The source, who preferred to remain unnamed, did not give details about the expected meetings, but told The Jordan Times that talks are to address bilateral ties, with emphasis on the refugee issue.
The “brief stopover” is also to include a visit to the Zaatari Refugee Camp.
Tusk has recently visited Turkey and met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, a visit followed by another to Egypt where the EU official met with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al Sisi.
On his Twitter account, Tusk said he will report the findings of his visits to Jordan, Egypt and Turkey to the EU extraordinary summit, convening this Wednesday to discuss refugee crisis.
