Description
Jordan's foreign policy continues to open up to the countries of the world and international organizations, interact with them, exchange experiences, and cooperate in various fields to develop the capabilities of the Jordanian state and provide the best services to Jordanians at home and around the world.
Jordan deposited its instrument of ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) with the Secretary-General of the United Nations on 25 August, 1998. Jordan is the twentieth signatory State to have ratified the Treaty. Jordan is providing one seismic station to the International Monitoring System (TEL-AL-ASFAR (AS056)).
On 11 November, 1999, a facility agreement was signed between the Permanent Representative of Jordan and the Executive Secretary of the Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO).
In cooperation with the CTBTO, Jordan hosted several workshops, the objective of the workshops was to address specific topics of interest for States Signatories and the Provisional Technical Secretariat (PTS) related to the establishment of the verification system and to advance interaction between the PTS and National Authorities and National Data Centres.
A major development hit the Jordan Seismological Observatory after the cooperation and workshops with CTBTO in terms of the number of stations and seismic severity studies.
