Amman, June 26 (Petra)– Director of the Public Security Directorate
(PSD), Maj. Gen. Obaidallah Al-Maaytah, participated in the 14th St.
Petersburg International Legal Forum, organized by Russia’s Ministry
of Justice with broad participation from security leaders, legal
officials, and experts from around the world.

Addressing the forum, Al-Maaytah stressed that contemporary security
and legal challenges require stronger international cooperation and
the development of strategic partnerships among law enforcement and
justice institutions. He said such cooperation is essential for
combating transnational crime, addressing emerging threats,
strengthening the rule of law, and promoting the exchange of
expertise and best practices to build more efficient and effective
security and judicial systems.

He noted that Jordan’s Public Security Directorate, with the
continued support of the Hashemite leadership, is implementing a
comprehensive modernization strategy focused on institutional
development, the integration of advanced technologies and artificial
intelligence across policing and security operations, and investment
in human capital through training based on the highest professional
standards. These efforts, he said, enhance the readiness of security
agencies and their ability to respond to rapidly evolving challenges.

Al-Maaytah added that exchanging successful experiences among law
enforcement agencies is a cornerstone of improving security and
judicial performance. He emphasized that security and stability are a
shared responsibility requiring greater coordination, integration,
and sustainable partnerships among countries and relevant
institutions to protect societies, safeguard rights and freedoms, and
strengthen public confidence in security and judicial institutions.

On the sidelines of the forum, Al-Maaytah met with Dmitry Aristov,
Director of Russia’s Federal Bailiff Service. The two sides discussed
ways to enhance bilateral cooperation and exchange expertise in areas
of mutual interest, with the aim of improving institutional
performance, increasing operational efficiency, and strengthening
coordination between the two agencies.

Both officials underscored the importance of maintaining
communication and advancing joint mechanisms of cooperation to serve
mutual interests and support efforts to strengthen justice and
security systems in line with international best practices and
standards.
