His Majesty King Abdullah and Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah Al Sisi on Thursday held talks which addressed prospects for cooperation in various fields, as well as the latest regional developments.

During a one-on-one meeting, followed by a broader meeting, the two leaders expressed pride in the “distinguished” Jordanian-Egyptian relations, stressing their commitment to maintaining coordination and consultations.

Sisi commended Jordan’s stand in support of Egypt, expressing his appreciation of the Kingdom’s efforts to convene the World Economic Forum on Middle East and North Africa (WEF MENA) at the Dead Sea, which provides an opportunity for leading political and economic figures to discuss regional issues and challenges.

In this context, the two leaders stressed the importance of utilising the forum to achieve positive results that can benefit the economies of the region’s countries, and mitigate the challenges their peoples are facing, mainly the problems of poverty and unemployment.

They reviewed regional and international developments and ways to deal with them in a manner that safeguards the security of the region and its people.

The two leaders also discussed the efforts to revive Palestinian-Israeli peace negotiations on the basis of the two-state solution and international resolutions.

In addition, they asserted the need for confronting terrorism, which poses a threat to regional security and stability, highlighting the significance of clarifying the true image of Islam and its tenets on unity and moderation.

Regarding the conditions witnessed in some countries, especially Syria, Iraq, Libya and Yemen, the two leaders stressed the need to arrive at political solutions to end these crises, in a manner that guarantees the security of their peoples and the safety of their territories.
