On January 8, 2026, the European Union and Jordan held a first‑ever bilateral summit in Amman, marking the anniversary of the EU‑Jordan Strategic and Comprehensive Partnership (SCP) signed in January 2025. The summit was attended by EU Commissioners Ursula von der Leyen and Luis Costa and by King Abdullah II of Jordan. Leaders reviewed the partnership’s first‑year achievements across five pillars—political relations, security and defence, economic resilience, human capital, and migration. The EU announced a €500 million macro‑financial assistance programme in September 2025 and plans a second €500 million package for 2026, covering budget support, investment mobilisation, and green transition projects. Upcoming events include an EU‑Jordan Investment Conference in April 2026 and the launch of a security‑and‑defence dialogue.
