Trade, investment, tourism, technology and defence were among the areas discussed. These are priorities expressed during the talks; the reviewed documents do not establish a new quantified funding commitment.

Tokayev welcomed Central Asia’s hosting of an Aqaba Process meeting dedicated to AI. Abdullah II reaffirmed Jordan’s interest in cooperation against terrorism and extremism.

The talks advance the previously announced visit. They do not establish that conclusions from the specialised AI meeting have already been adopted.
