His Majesty King Abdullah on Monday met with Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation José Manuel García-Margallo.

During the meeting King Abdullah reiterated the need for influential international parties to work towards creating a suitable atmosphere for reviving peace talks between the Palestinians and the Israelis.

The King said the talks should be based on the two-state solution and related international resolutions.

His Majesty and Garcia-Margallo discussed the situation in the Middle East, especially in Iraq and Syria, and called for reaching a comprehensive political solution that ends the bloodshed in Syria while supporting the Iraqi government’s efforts to fight terrorist groups.

Talks also covered bilateral ties and the need to boost cooperation in the areas of renewable energy, the economy and trade.

Garcia-Margallo was also in Amman to open the new premises of Spain’s embassy in Amman.

Both Jordan and Spain on Monday stressed that they will continue to support efforts to reach a solution for the Palestinian-Israeli conflict “that satisfies all concerned parties”.
