The Feb. 24 meeting is set to take place at the White House, where the two leaders will discuss the fight against ISIS, the Syrian war and the refugee crisis.

“The United States greatly values its enduring and strategic partnership with the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, as well as our shared initiatives on a broad range of diplomatic and security challenges,” reads a White House statement.

It’s not the first meeting between President Obama and Jordan’s King Abdullah — the two met briefly at Joint Base Andrews in January.
