Amman: Senate President Faisal Fayez on Tuesday discussed with British Ambassador to Jordan Philip Hall the aspects of Jordanian-British relations. During a meeting held at the Senate's headquarters, the two sides also went over the importance of developing and building upon these ties in various fields and exploring broader horizons for bilateral cooperation between the two friendly countries.
According to Jordan News Agency, the talks addressed the current situation and the latest developments in the region, particularly the potential Iranian-American-Israeli conflict and its repercussions on the security and stability of the region and the world. Fayez stated that expanding the scope of the conflict in the region would lead to further conflicts, chaos, and destruction.
Reiterating Jordan's stance that it will not become a battleground for any party, Fayez stressed the Kingdom's rejection of any aggression that threatens its security, stability, and sovereignty, or that threatens the security of its brotherly Arab states. He noted that the Iranian missile and drone attacks on Jordan and other Arab states are "unacceptable, rejected, and condemned."
Fayez also highlighted that His Majesty King Abdullah II emphasized the necessity of ending this war due to its grave repercussions for the region and the world. Through intensive communications and talks with world leaders since the outbreak of the crisis, His Majesty urged the international community to work to achieve a "comprehensive and sustainable" ceasefire that contributes to restoring stability and achieving peace for all.
Additionally, Fayez mentioned that His Majesty also noted this war should not distract the international community from the necessity of compelling the Israeli occupation state to implement the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, working to end the suffering of the Palestinian people, and allowing humanitarian aid to enter the strip.
In turn, the British ambassador affirmed the importance of the "strategic" partnership in various fields, particularly ending the region's conflicts. The diplomat commended the level of Jordan-UK relations and the significant efforts undertaken by His Majesty King Abdullah II to establish security and stability in the region.
