UK , Jordan standing shoulder to shoulder in fight against Daesh
London, Jan 28 (IBNS): Defence Secretary Michael Fallon has praised the crucial role Jordan plays in the fight against Daesh, following a meeting today with His Majesty King Abdullah II, officials said.

Jordan is a longstanding and key ally of the UK and an important partner in countering the shared threats we face."
"We stand shoulder to shoulder in the fight against Daesh, our militaries exercise together and we’re assisting Jordan in the development to develop of its armed forces," Michael Fallon said.
