On the occasion of the German National Day, Kampmann
expressed his happiness with this “distinguished level of dialogue, cooperation
and coordination relations between the two countries.”
The German ambassador stressed that
“multidimensional cooperation with Jordan is continuing in the crisis
prevention and resolution field,” pointing to “the role of a series of meetings
on the
Middle East peace process between the foreign ministers of Jordan, Egypt, France and Germany in the Munich Group, which was established in 2020,”
to intensify coordination and cooperation, especially at the level of the
Palestinian cause.
The envoy referred to Jordan’s role in the
region, as “an important partner located in a problematic area and a translator
of regional dynamics.”
On the role of Germany in the developments of the
Palestinian cause, Kampmann stressed the importance of Jordan and Germany’s
cooperation.
He pointed to the geographical closeness between
Jordan and the Palestinian territories, which allows Jordan to explain to others
where the most complex issues lie, in parallel with the role of German stance
in international politics and its reliable relations with several countries in
the region.
He said “we are discussing with Jordan the messages
both Germany and Jordan can deliver, which points to fruitful cooperation,” he
said.
Kampmann asserted that the German government is
committed and will continue to provide the necessary aid and support to the
Kingdom, while negotiations will take place between the two countries this week
to agree on the aid map for the next two years.
On the political tensions in
Syria, the ambassador
said: “Germany is aware of the magnitude of the challenges that Jordan faces in
this regard due to the refugee crisis and the need for aid and support.”
He added: “Germany is one of the partners that have
maintained cooperation in the humanitarian field... and we will continue to do
so.”
“Germany also addresses the challenges arising from
the refugee crisis through bilateral developmental cooperation between the two
countries. For example, Germany supports two-shift school system for refugee
children,” according to Kampmann.
The ambassador also praised Jordan’s commencement of
a “political dialogue among Arab countries” to discuss the solutions to the
Syrian conflict.
Furthermore, Kampmann said that “Germany, which is
the second largest bilateral donor of development cooperation with Jordan, will
hold high-level government negotiations on future development aid in Amman on
October 5 and 6,” adding that “new commitments for the next two years will be
announced.”
The ambassador added: “the German Ministry of
Economic Cooperation and Development pledged, in April 2022, to allocate 50
million euros for a desalination and water conveying project in Aqaba and Amman,”
noting that “this contribution makes us the second largest contributor to the
EU.”
