His Majesty King Abdullah on Wednesday met with Volker Kauder, the parliamentary group leader of the ruling Christian Democratic Union and Christian Social Union in Bavaria in the German Bundestag.

During the meeting, King Abdullah stressed Jordan’s keenness to further enhance cooperation in various fields.

The King urged further coordination among influential players to achieve world peace and enhance regional security and stability. In this regard, His Majesty highlighted the importance of supporting efforts exerted to deal with present challenges, especially terrorist and extremist groups that threaten world peace and security, and urged people and followers of different faiths to find common ground.

The King renewed a call for serious efforts to achieve Middle East peace and establish the Palestinian state, and to work out peaceful solutions to the situations in Syria, Iraq and Yemen.

Kauder and the accompanying delegates praised Jordan’s contributions to regional stability, which, they said, have earned the Kingdom a special status in the international arena as a peacemaker and a model of moderation and coexistence.
