Australia and Jordan have agreed to strengthen defence ties and work towards peace in the Middle East during a leader's meeting at Parliament House.
King Abdullah II of Jordan has met with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to reaffirm a joint declaration signed 10 years ago during the monarch's last visit to Australia.
"It's never been more important for countries to work together in the interests of international security," Mr Albanese said on Wednesday.
The two nations have agreed to further co-operation on defence, security and resources, with the prime minister highlighting a proud history of collaboration.
He echoed condemnation of recent attacks by the Houthis in Saudi Arabia and the tragic loss of life in conflicts across the region, while acknowledging the advocacy of Jordan in these arenas.
"You play such an important role in the region, and your personal leadership is also something that I want to express my admiration for," Mr Albanese said, noting the complexity facing Jordan as it calls for peace in a turbulent part of the world.
King Abdullah II echoed a desire for peace and said he was deeply proud of the collaboration with Australia.
"Especially ... the challenges that we're having globally, but specifically, I think in our part of the world," he said.
"Military and intelligence, we have an amazing relationship that can only get stronger."
Both leaders reaffirmed their commitment to a two-state solution for the future of Palestine and Israel, condemning any attempts to annex the West Bank or displace the Palestinian people.
The Jordanian monarch extended an informal invitation to the prime minister to visit soon, suggesting more will need to be done in person to deliver de-escalation.
Canberra has provided Jordan $130 million in humanitarian funding since 2017 to help cushion it against the Syrian Civil War, which made the kingdom a haven for hundreds of thousands of refugees.
Despite being near the conflict between Israel and Palestine to its west, Syria to its north and Iraq to its east, Jordan has proven one of the Middle East's most stable, peaceful countries and a dependable defence partner.
King Abdullah has been a strong advocate against Israeli human rights violations in Gaza speaking at the UN General Assembly in New York in September.
