His Majesty King Abdullah II
Remarks by U.S.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and His Majesty King Abdullah II
Before Their Meeting
April 21, 2009
Washington, DC
U.S.A.
Sec. Clinton: Well, His Majesty is no stranger either to the State
Department or to Washington. He has been a partner, an ally and a friend of the
United States on behalf of his country and on behalf of the search for peace
that would result from a two-state solution in the Middle East. And I am deeply
honored and greatly delighted to welcome His Majesty back to the State
Department for the series of important meetings.
HM King Abdullah: Mrs. Clinton, thank you very much. It's a great honor
for me to be back here in Washington. We've had some very fruitful discussions
this morning with President Obama. I'm here at the State Department now to go
over the priorities that Jordan and Arab countries need to put in front of
themselves on how to bring Israelis and Palestinians to the negotiation table,
and hopefully open a new chapter of peace and stability in the Middle East and
move the peace process forward.
So it is a great honor to be here, and I look forward to working with you, Mrs.
Clinton, and working as hard as we can to finally bring peace and stability to
the Middle East.
Sec. Clinton: Thank you so much, sir. Thank you. Thank you.
