His Majesty King Abdullah on Thursday held talks with British Prime Minister David Cameron on developments in the Arab region as well as the British and the European roles in supporting the Middle East peace process.

King Abdullah urged the international community to develop a position that supports the resumption of negotiations between the Palestinians and Israelis to address with all final status issues.

The King said negotiations should lead to the establishment of a Palestinian state on the basis of the 1967 borders, living in peace and security, side-by-side with Israel.

During the meeting, also attended by Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh and his British counterpart William Hague, the two sides examined means to boost bilateral cooperation in all spheres.

They also reviewed several Arab, regional and international issues of mutual concern, the statement said.

Both sides agreed to increase joint economic cooperation and encourage British companies to increase their investments in Jordan.

King Abdullah also briefed Cameron on Jordan’s various measures underway to achieve comprehensive political, economic and social reform to increase Jordanians’ participation in the decision-making process, voicing confidence in the success of the political reform process.

He also highlighted Jordan’s economic challenges in light of the widening budget deficit and the impact rise in fuel prices on international markets is having on the national economy.

The British prime minister commended Jordan’s measures to achieve reform in different fields and stressed Britain’s support for all efforts to achieve peace and end the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, on the basis of the two-state solution.
