The meetings
tackled bilateral relations, regional developments and efforts to resolve
regional crises in addition to dealing with their humanitarian, social,
security, economic and political impacts.
In a meeting with
the High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep
Borrell, Safadi stressed the importance of the Jordanian-European partnership
and the European role in addressing economic challenges.
The minister
lauded the European support for the Kingdom through buttressing the development
process and facing the ramifications of regional crises.
Safadi and Borrell
discussed cooperation programs between Jordan and the EU in many key sectors,
and preparations for holding the Jordanian-European Partnership Council meeting
in Jordan for the first time to pinpoint top priorities for cooperation.
Borrell underlined
the EU’s appreciation of the Kingdom’s key role in resolving regional crises
and achieving security and stability.
The Palestinian
cause was at the forefront of the issues the two officials reviewed, with
Safadi hailing Europe’s position which backs the two-state solution, and
rejects unilateral steps that undermine it, especially with regard to
settlements, land confiscation, and the displacement of Palestinians from their
homes.
Safadi underscored
the need to move quickly and effectively to find a “real political horizon” to
achieve lasting peace on the basis of the two-state solution and in accordance
with international law.
He said that the
Palestinian issue is the basis for instability in the region, and the two-state
solution, which envisions an independent and sovereign Palestinian state on
pre-June 1967 lines with East Jerusalem as its capital to live alongside Israel
in peace and security, is the only way
to achieve a just peace which is vital for regional and international security
and stability.
In addition,
Safadi discussed with the Minister of Foreign and European Affairs of the
Slovak Republic Ivan Korcok prospects for increasing bilateral cooperation and
regional and international developments, in addition to the latest developments
of the Ukrainian crisis and its ramifications.
Safadi also
discussed with the Sri Lankan Minister of Foreign Affairs Gamini Lakshman
Peiris bilateral ties and other regional and international issues.
