His Majesty King Abdullah held talks with head of delegates and key figures on the sidelines of the Nuclear Security Summit in The Hague.

King Abdullah met with UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

Meetings covered bilateral ties and prospects for further cooperation at all levels, in addition to the latest regional and international developments.

His Majesty underlined Jordan’s stance in supporting efforts to bring about comprehensive and just peace between Palestinians and Israelis according to the two-state solution, international resolutions and the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative.

The King stressed the need for the efforts to arrive at the establishment of an independent and viable Palestinian state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.

Discussions also focused on the latest developments in Syria. His Majesty called for hammering out a comprehensive political solution to the crisis to end the suffering of Syrians, citing the burdens Jordan is enduring due to hosting the largest number of Syrian refugees.

The King noted that the Kingdom, which holds a UN Security Council seat representing Arab Asia and the Far East, seeks to play a role in entrenching security, stability and world peace and help overcome crises facing nations.

During his meeting with the Dutch prime minister, His Majesty commended the Netherlands for hosting the summit to contribute to improving international cooperation and awareness on issues related to security and peace.
