Bakhit told his Syrian counterpart, Adel Safar, in a telephone conversation that he hoped for a "return to calm and peace for the people," Petra added.
He stressed "Jordan's commitment to stability in Syria, a brotherly neighbouring country dear to the Arab nation."
The Syrian premier underlined his government's commitment to implementing the economic and political reforms announced by Assad, Petra added.
Last month, under pressure from the international community, Assad lifted nearly five decades of emergency rule, but a deadly crackdown on pro-reform protesters has continued unabated.
