According to the Jordan News Agency, Petra, during the meeting, the leaders reaffirmed the historical and fraternal relations between Jordan and Qatar, under the leadership of His Majesty King Abdullah and Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, Emir of Qatar.

They underlined their keenness to increase cooperation in various economic, investment, and development fields through integrated action plans that benefit both countries and their people.

Commitment to building on summit outcomesThe two prime ministers also emphasized the commitment of both countries' governments to build on the outcomes of the summit meeting held between King Abdullah and Sheikh Tamim earlier this year.

Khasawneh praised Qatar's role in the region in serving Arab causes and lauded the care and attention accorded to Jordanians residing in Qatar.

The ministers from both sides highlighted areas of cooperation in the investment, financial, tourism, and energy fields, and emphasized the importance of building networks between the private sectors in the two countries to explore opportunities for cooperation.

"Qatari investments in Jordan are important, and we look forward to increasing and expanding them in many fields," the Qatari Prime Minister said.

Condemning Israeli attacks on Palestine and Al-Aqsa MosqueThe leaders also discussed the latest developments in the Middle East, particularly the situation in Palestine and the holy Al-Aqsa Mosque.

They condemned all attacks, violations, unilateral Israeli measures, and the continuous attacks on the Palestinian people.

The two prime ministers reaffirmed the firm position of the two countries regarding the justice of the Palestinian cause and the legitimate rights of the brotherly Palestinian people, foremost of which is the establishment of its independent state on the pre-June 4, 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital.

They called on preserving the historical and legal status quo in Jerusalem and its sanctities, under the Hashemite custodianship that His Majesty King Abdullah II is holding with all honesty, responsibility, and competence.

Senior officials from both countries attended the meeting, which concluded with an Iftar banquet hosted by the Qatari Prime Minister to honor Prime Minister Khasawneh and the accompanying delegation.
