Jordan's king meets with European Parliament speaker
Published in Saudi Press Agency on 31 - 05 - 2007


Jordan's King Abdullah II conferred Thursday with
Speaker of the European Parliament Hans-Gert Pottering and praised
the "important" role being played by the European Union for the
establishment of peace in the Middle East, according to dpa.
King Abdullah praised in particular the European Union's support
of the Arab peace initiative readopted by Arab leaders at a Riyadh
summit in March, a statement of the Jordanian Royal Court added.
The plan envisages extending recognition to Israel by all Arab
states after the Jewish state withdraws from all Arab territory
occupied in the 1967 war, including East Jerusalem, and finding an
"acceptable" solution to the Palestinian refugee problem.
King Abdullah also urged the resumption of EU aid to the
Palestinians "with a view to alleviating their sufferings and
improving their living conditions," the statement said.
"The monarch stressed the depth of partnership between Jordan and
the EU as well as keenness to boost bilateral cooperation in various
spheres," it added.
Pottering extended an invitation to King Abdullah to deliver a
speech before the European Parliament at Strasbourg, and praised
efforts being exerted by the monarch towards resuming peace
negotiations between the Palestinians and Israelis.
The European Union chief visited Jordan as part of a regional tour
that also took him to Israel and the Palestinian territories.
