AMMAN — Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ayman Safadi on Tuesday met with Morocco's Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates Nasser Bourita to discuss ways to strengthen bilateral cooperation between the two kingdoms.
During the meeting, both sides reviewed regional developments and efforts to enhance security and stability, according to a Foreign Ministry statement.
Safadi and Bourita reiterated the strong relations between Jordan and Morocco and stressed their commitment to enhance cooperation in various fields.
They also discussed preparations for the sixth session of the Jordanian-Moroccan Higher Joint Commission, due to convene in the last quarter of this year.
The two ministers emphasised the importance of ensuring that the commission's meetings deliver tangible steps to expand cooperation across a range of sectors in the interests of both countries.
Safadi and Bourita reaffirmed their support for the US-Iran negotiations and stressed the need for a comprehensive agreement that ensures lasting security and stability.
They also stressed the need to mobilise all efforts to consolidate stability in Gaza and implement all provisions of US President Donald Trump's plan as a means to that end.
The top diplomats also reiterated the need to stop all illegal Israeli measures that undermine the two-state solution and to respect the historic and legal status quo at Jerusalem's Islamic and Christian holy sites.
Bourita concluded an official visit to Jordan after participating in the Arab Consultative Meeting and the ordinary session of the Arab League Council hosted by the Kingdom on Monday.
Also on Tuesday, Safadi discussed with EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas ways to strengthen Jordan-EU cooperation across a range of sectors.
Speaking alongside Safadi, Kallas said that Jordan is an indispensable partner for the European Union in the region.
She said Jordan remains one of Europe's closest and most reliable partners in the Middle East, stressing the EU's commitment to maintaining close coordination and dialogue with the Kingdom on regional and international issues of mutual concern.
Kallas reaffirmed the EU's determination to deepen its partnership with Jordan, building on the outcomes of the 2026 Jordan-EU Summit and the launch of the bilateral Security and Defence Dialogue.
She stressed that peace and stability in the Middle East are in Europe's strategic interest, noting that "the problems of our neighbours today become our problems tomorrow."
Highlighting the rapidly evolving regional situation, Kallas said the EU is closely monitoring developments and remains committed to supporting efforts to end the escalation in the region while contributing to the next phase of diplomatic negotiations and broader political initiatives.
