Jordan, UK want action
for Gaza
AMMAN (JT) –– Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh on Monday discussed bilateral ties
and the latest developments in the region with his British counterpart William
Hague.
During a meeting in London, the two officials looked into means to resume the
Middle East peace process and arrive at a solution to the Palestinian-Israeli
conflict.
A statement from the UK's Foreign and Commonwealth Office, received by The
Jordan Times yesterday, quoted Hague as saying that the talks covered "the need
for a solution based on the 1967 borders, with a just settlement for refugees
and with Jerusalem as the future capital of both states", as well as "action to
address the situation in Gaza".
"Jordan is a very close partner for the UK and we attach great importance to our
relationship," the statement quoted the British foreign minister as saying.
Hague said the discussions also addressed "the British government's plans to
pursue a distinctive foreign policy in the Middle East, which we regard as a
region of great opportunity and promise".
