His Majesty King Abdullah on Thursday renewed a call on the EU to continue its support for the Mideast peace process.

During a meeting with Polish Senate Speaker Bogdan Borusewicz, the king stressed the importance for EU countries, including Poland, to continue their contributions to efforts seeking to bring about just and permanent peace in the region.

In talks with Borusewicz, who headed a delegation of parliamentarians and businesspeople, King Abdullah outlined Jordan's efforts and communications aimed to sustain the momentum of the peace process and help Palestinians and Israelis embark on serious negotiations that would lead to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.

King Abdullah expressed hope that the US-proposed international Mideast peace conference, expected in November, will be a step forward in endeavours to achieve the envisaged peace in the Middle East and create the Palestinian state.

On bilateral ties, King Abdullah highlighted potential opportunities that can be seized to build economic and commercial ties between Jordan and Poland with the effective participation of the private sector in both countries.

Borusewicz, for his part, said he highly valued Jordan's efforts to realize peace in the region, stressing his country's keenness to bolster cooperation between the two countries in various fields, especially in parliamentary and economic fields.
