The ministry's spokesperson highlighted the importance of fully implementing UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which brought an end to the Israel-Hezbollah war in 2006. Additionally, Jordan called for the strengthening of Lebanon's national institutions, reconstruction of war-damaged areas, and providing economic assistance to the country.
