During a video conference with Chairman of the
Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress of China Li Zhanshu, Fayez
noted that the 45-year-old friendship between the two nations has continued to
flourish on all levels, with China becoming Jordan’s third-largest trading
partner.
Fayez praised
China’s stand on Arab issues,
including its constant assertion that any plan that is not linked to the Middle
East peace process will not bring sustainable peace to the region.
“We, in Jordan, appreciate China’s support for the
Kingdom in various fields, especially the economic,” Fayez said, adding that
the relationship between the two countries is moving at a strong pace toward
“broader and broader horizons”, serving the interests of both countries.
Fayez highlighted Jordan’s most pressing economic
issues, exacerbated by the regional instability, the
Syrian refugee crisis, and
the pandemic.
He urged Chinese
businessmen to take advantage of the investment potential in Jordan, as well as
of the Kingdom’s strategic location, which serves to link Asia, Africa, and
Europe, as well as the US, which makes it a hub for regional and global trade
and investment.
The Chinese official expressed his appreciation for
His Majesty King Abdullah’s unique and powerful role in resolving regional
conflicts and crises.
Li also reaffirmed his country’s unwavering support
for the Hashemite custodianship of
Islamic and Christian holy sites in
Jerusalem, as well as the King’s efforts to revive the peace process.
He said that
China opposes any change to the status quo in Jerusalem and is collaborating
with Jordan to find a just solution to the refugee crisis, based on
international resolutions, while also recognizing Jordan’s significant
humanitarian role in hosting and caring for refugees.
