Amman’s ancient citadel, perched atop Jebel al-Qala’a, provided a poetic backdrop on December 15, 2025, as Prime Minister Narendra Modi touched down at Queen Alia International Airport, inaugurating a pivotal three-nation tour to Jordan, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Qatar. Greeted by a ceremonial guard of honor and a bouquet of Jordanian roses, Modi was received by Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi and a high-level delegation, marking the first visit by an Indian prime minister to the Hashemite Kingdom in 19 years.
