Amman - Jordan and Lebanon on Monday signed a military cooperation agreement, according to the official Petra news agency.
The accord "specifies the legal framework for bilateral military cooperation", the agency said.
It was signed by head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Jordanian armed forces, General Mashaal al-Zaben, and the visiting commander of the Lebanese army, General Jean Kahwagi.
Kahwagi was later received by Jordan's King Abdullah II, who expressed "Jordan's full backing for efforts being exerted to bolster Lebanon's security and stability and enable it to confront all challenges", a royal court statement said.
Jordan and Egypt have replaced Syria over the past few years in training Lebanese forces, with approval from the United States and France.
