Director General of the International Military Staff visits Kingdom of Jordan
13 November 2025
3 MIN READ
Amman, 11-13 November 2025 – Director General of the International Military Staff (DGIMS), Lieutenant General Remigijus Baltrėnas paid an official visit to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, upon invitation of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Jordanian Armed Forces, Major General Yousef Huneiti.
With MG Huneiti, discussions centred on the longstanding and valued partnership between NATO and Jordan, the crucial role the country plays as a source of stability in the region, and the value of partnerships in the southern neighbourhood.
“NATO aims to foster greater security and stability in the Middle East and Africa, contributing to peace and prosperity. Therefore, strategic cooperation between Jordan and NATO continues to be mutually beneficial path of cooperation,” said DGIMS. “This is why we have established, in cooperation with local authorities, a NATO Liaison Office in Amman, the first of its kind in the region. This Office witnesses NATO’s commitment to reinforcing dialogue and cooperation with Jordan, and to enhancing our presence and visibility in the region.”
During his visit, the DGIMS also had the opportunity to visit the “King Abdullah II Special Operations Training Centre,” the “Military Women Training Centre,” and to deliver a speech at the Royal Jordanian National Defence College.
During the meeting at the Military Women Training Centre DGIMS appreciated the activities of this institution, and acknowledged its significant importance of facilitating the active participation of women in security institutions. “Jordan is providing a leading example of country that is committed to diversifying military culture by expanding opportunities for women,” said Lieutenant General Baltrėnas.
DGIMS met with the Commandant of the Royal Jordanian National Defence College Brigadier General Imad Abdul Latif Abdul Qader Al-Marazqa Al-Batoush. Discussions centred on the regional security situation, and the opportunities to strengthen partnership between NATO and Jordan military education institutions.
In his remarks to international students and faculty members at the Defence College, the DGIMS expanded on Jordan being a cornerstone of stability in the broader Middle East: “Your expertise and experience of the MENA region have proved crucial to Allies’ comprehensive understanding of the area, and this is particularly true in the field of counter-terrorism, where NATO often benefits from your expertise”, said Lieutenant General Baltrėnas. “I would like to praise your country’s enhanced commitment to political and military cooperation with NATO”, he said.
A very active Mediterranean Dialogue member since 1995, Jordan became an Enhanced Opportunities Partner (EOP) shortly after the 2014 Wales Summit, when NATO’s Defence and Related Security Capacity Building (DCB) Initiative was lunched. Jordan has since then been working side by side with NATO on an increasing number of areas, among which Counter-IED, Cyber Defence, Maritime, and Border Security.
Over the years, Jordan has made several valuable contributions to NATO missions and operations, in the Balkans, in Afghanistan, and over Libya. Jordan also hosted the NATO Defence Capacity Building training activities for Iraq at the King Abdullah’s Special Operations Training Centre (KASOTC).
