AlQa'dah 9, 1434, Sep 15, 2013, SPA -- Jordanian King Abdullah II stressed that Jordan is closely watching developments and the course of things in Syria, adding that Jordan will work with the Arab and international communities to stop the bloodshed in Syria, and to end the suffering of its people, which is deepening day after day. In a press statement on the sidelines of his current visit to China, King Abdullah II said "We will exert all efforts to reach Arab and international consensus over a comprehensive political solution to the Syrian crisis. We believe that consensus on a comprehensive political solution that rejects sectarianism, maintains Syria's territorial integrity, and protects the dignity of its people is the ideal solution to the crisis." Regarding the use of chemical weapons in Syria, King Abdullah II said "It was painful for us to see the use of chemical weapons on innocent civilians and children, indicating that the conflict in Syria has reached a very serious and unprecedented stage. We must reach Arab and international consensus on a comprehensive political solution to the Syrian crisis, a solution that brings an end to the threat of chemical weapons, fighting and violence. It should trigger a political process that meets the aspirations of all Syrians, ensures their participation and representation, and preserves the unity of Syria's territory and people."
