Diplomatic relations between the Egyptian and Jordanian government have existed since Jordan became independent in 1946.
On April 6, 1972, the Egyptian government severed relations in protest for a Jordanian plan for federation with the West Bank, which did not take PLO interests into consideration. These relations were restored on September 11, 1973.[2] They were severed again in 1979, this time by the Jordanian government, in protest of the Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty. Following the outbreak of the Lebanon War of 1982, the US government put pressure on both governments to reach accommodation for the purpose of formulating a joint peace strategy vis-a-vis the Israeli government,[3] and relations were restored on September 25, 1984.
In March 2021, the Prime ministers of the two countries signed seven agreements boosting the cooperation in many fields.[4]
