PM holds talks with US delegation
AMMAN (Petra) — Prime Minister Marouf Bakhit on Thursday received a US military delegation,
which is in the Kingdom as part of a six-week educational programme that will take the
delegates to several countries. During the meeting, Bakhit briefed the delegates on Jordan’s
position on regional issues, emphasising the need to find a just and comprehensive solution
to the Palestinian question, which is the core conflict in the region. Stressing Jordan’s
keenness to preserve the stability and the territorial integrity of Iraq, Bakhit also said
it was important to find a peaceful solution to the Iranian nuclear standoff through negotiations.
