AMMAN — Prime Minister and Minister of Defence Abdullah Ensour on Monday underlined the “deep” ties Jordan and Greece enjoy at all levels, citing the European country’s “understanding” of regional challenges, especially the Palestine issue.

He made his remarks during a meeting with Greek Defence Minister Dimitris Avramopoulos on the sidelines of the 10th Special Operations Forces Exhibition (SOFEX 2014). Ensour highlighted the security, economic and social problems facing the Kingdom due to hosting around two million Palestinian refugees, 1.3 million Syrians and 250,000 Iraqis, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported. Despite the challenges, the premier noted that Jordan ranks first regionally in terms of eradicating illiteracy, the number of university graduates and the quality of medical tourism.

Talks also focused on prospects for further bilateral cooperation.

Also on Monday, Interior Minister Hussein Majali met with Avramopoulos and discussed ways to activate mutual agreements, in addition to the latest regional developments, particularly in Syria, according to Petra.
