 Following the opening of the crossing, a Syrian economic delegation headed to the Jordanian crossing of Jaber.

Speaking to reporters, head of the Syrian Exporters Federation, Mohammad al-Sawah affirmed that Nassib-Jaber crossing is very important for the return of the flow of goods between Syria and Jordan and the revitalization of economy as it is a transit area for Syria towards neighboring countries and is of the same importance for Jordan.

On Sunday, Interior Minister Mohammad al- Sha’ar said that an agreement has been reached between Syria and Jordan to re-open the border crossing on Monday following a meeting of Syrian–Jordanian technical committee agreeing on the arrangements to re-open the border crossing of Nassib-Jaber.
