Jordan's King Abdullah received a phone call from Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, the royal palace said on Sunday in what officials said was the first such communication since the start of the conflict in Syria a decade ago.

"They discussed relations between the two brotherly countries and ways of enhancing cooperation," the Jordanian palace statement said.
