Syrian parliament Speaker Hammouda Sabbagh arrived in Amman on Saturday to take part in the Arab Inter-Parliamentary Union conference that will kick off on Sunday.
He was welcomed upon his arrival by his Jordanian counterpart Atef al-Tarawneh.
This marks the first time that Syria attends the conference since the eruption of its crisis in 2011.
This year’s meeting will be held under the theme of “Jerusalem: the eternal capital of the Palestinian state.”
The parliament speakers of each of Lebanon, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar have all arrived in Jordan for the conference.
Syria was suspended from the Arab League in wake of its crisis and the regime’s violent crackdown on peaceful protesters.
Debate has been ongoing in recent months on whether to restore its membership.
