Jordan to take part in Arab parliament conference

AMMAN — Jordan is scheduled to take part in the Arab Inter-Parliamentary Union Conference in Kuwait.

Lower House Speaker Atef Tarawneh will be heading the Kingdom’s delegation.

In his address at the January 18-20 conference, Tarawneh will emphasise Jordan’s support for the Palestinian people and their right to establish an independent state on Palestinian land with Jerusalem as its capital, in addition to the refugees’ right of return.

He will also highlight Jordan’s efforts to support the Middle East peace talks, and the Kingdom’s role as the custodian of holy sites in Jerusalem.

The conference will be dedicated to studying the issue of Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine and the “continued aggression” against its people and holy sites.
