AMMAN — Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi and Qatar's Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed Bin Abdulrahman Al Thani held comprehensive talks on Thursday to strengthen strategic relations between their countries, with efforts to end the Israeli aggression on Gaza and various regional issues at the centre of the discussions.
Both top officials stressed the urgent need to stop the ongoing Israeli aggression in the Gaza Strip, calling for an immediate and lasting ceasefire, and underlined the importance of providing adequate aid throughout the war-torn Strip.
During their meeting, which comes within the framework of continuous consultation and coordination between Jordan and Qatar, Safadi and Sheikh Mohammed discussed joint efforts to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, including the delivery of aid through Jordanian channels.
Safadi expressed Jordan's support for efforts by Qatar, Egypt, and the United States to broker an exchange deal that would lead to a permanent ceasefire.
They also stressed the need for an effective international response to stop Israel's illegal actions in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, which undermines the two-state solution and the possibility of achieving a just and comprehensive peace.
The discussions also covered initiatives to reduce regional tensions and reaffirmed their support for Lebanon's security and stability, stressing the importance of compliance with UN Security Council Resolution 1701.
Safadi appreciated Qatar's support and care for the approximately 80,000 Jordanian citizens working and living in the Gulf country.
Reaffirming their commitment to enhancing cooperation in various fields, Safadi and Sheikh Mohammed stressed their commitment to continued consultation, coordination, and cooperation to serve their nations' interests and address broader Arab and Islamic issues.
