Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Ayman Safadi, and EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell , on Tuesday held extensive talks, which affirmed continued Jordan-EU cooperation and coordination and focused on the Palestinian issue and the Kingdom’s initiative, aimed to reach a political solution to the Syrian crisis.
During his meeting with Borrell, Safadi, on the second and final leg of a European tour that began in Germany Monday, stressed importance of Jordanian-EU partnership and European role in efforts to resolve regional crises and achieve security, stability and prosperity.
Focusing on the Palestinian issue, Safadi warned of danger of the continued deterioration in the occupied Palestinian territories, and noted the need to stop illegal Israeli measures that fuel violence and undermine the two-state solution.
In this regard, Safadi called on finding a “true” political horizon to re-launch serious and effective negotiations to achieve a just and comprehensive peace based on the two-state solution.
Safadi and Borrell discussed outcomes of the Aqaba and Sharm el-Sheikh meetings, and efforts made by the Kingdom to stop deterioration and escalation by stopping their causes and activating the peace process, in which Jordan sees an “important and major” role for Europe in this effort.
Safadi and Borrell also discussed preparations for holding a meeting of the Munich Group in Berlin next month
