During
a visit to the ministry’s premises and a meeting with Deputy Prime Minister and
Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi, Crown Prince Al Hussein said Jordanian diplomacy
has an active role in highlighting the Kingdom’s messaging and positions, under
the leadership of His Majesty King Abdullah, on Arab, regional, and
international issues.
The
meeting covered Jordan’s diplomatic efforts in dealing with the situation in
Gaza, with His Royal Highness reaffirming the Kingdom’s position in calling for
ending the war on Gaza, rejecting displacement, allowing the delivery of
humanitarian aid, and working towards a political solution to the Palestinian
issue to reach peace on the basis of the two-state solution.
At the
meeting, which also included a video call with Jordan’s diplomatic missions,
the Crown Prince said Jordanian embassies are homes for all Jordanian
expatriates, highlighting their important role in promoting investment and
tourism, which has suffered a decline due to regional developments.
His
Royal Highness listened to a briefing by Minister Safadi on the ministry’s
political and diplomatic efforts, and the role of Jordan’s embassies in
enhancing cooperation with Arab and friendly countries in service of national
interests in various fields, especially in political, economic, and investment
areas.
The
minister stressed that Jordanian diplomacy, under the leadership of King
Abdullah, is internationally regarded and has high stature, which is the
culmination of Jordanian and Hashemite efforts and steadfast positions over the
past 100 years, rooted in mutual respect, and keenness on working towards
regional security, stability, and peace, as well as enhancing joint Arab action
and efficient international cooperation that fulfils Jordan’s aspirations and
national interests.
Jordanian
Ambassador to Palestine Issam Bdour gave a briefing via telepresence on the
readiness of the Jordanian field hospitals in Gaza and the West Bank to provide
medical services to the Palestinians.
The
Crown Prince visited the ministry’s Operations and Consular Affairs
Directorate, and listened to a briefing by its director, Sufyan Qudah, on the
directorate’s operations centre’s duties, including responding to developments
that emerge in any country that experiences wars, catastrophes, and crises.
Qudah
added that the centre’s mandate includes following up on the conditions of
Jordanians abroad, in coordination with Jordan’s embassies, during critical
conditions and providing assistance to them to ensure their safety and security.
In
addition, Qudah highlighted the ministry’s efforts, in partnership with other
entities, to evacuate Jordanians from Gaza since the eruption of the war, and
follow up on those residing there.
According
to the ministry’s figures, 881 Jordanians registered in the centre’s database
reside in Gaza, 458 of whom were evacuated.
Jordan
has 59 diplomatic missions around the world, and non-resident diplomatic
representation in 87 countries.
