MANAMA (JT) - Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh on Saturday discussed with his Iranian counterpart, Manouchehr Mottaki, means to bolster bilateral ties, the latest regional and international developments and several other issues of mutual concern.
On the sidelines of the International Institute for Strategic Studies’ (IISS) Regional Security Summit: the 7th Manama Dialogue, Judeh stressed that achieving stability and security in the Middle East hinges on a peaceful end to the Arab-Israeli conflict.
He said the envisaged solution should be based on the two-state formula, the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative and relative international resolutions on the conflict.
In addition, the minister briefed the Iranian official on the efforts exerted to bring an end to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict on the basis of the two-state solution that ensures the establishment of an independent Palestinian state living side by side with Israel on the 1967 borders.
Also during the meeting, Judeh reiterated Jordan’s consistent position towards the diplomatic solution to Iran’s nuclear issue, expressing hope that the next Geneva negotiations between Iran and the West on Tehran’s nuclear file would bring about positive outcomes.
Later in the day in Amman, Judeh discussed with his German counterpart Guido Westerwelle bilateral ties and the latest developments in the region, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
The two officials discussed efforts to establish a suitable environment to resume direct peace talks between Palestinians and Israelis, with Judeh stressing that the talks should address final status issues, according to Petra.
Briefing the German minister on His Majesty King Abdullah’s efforts to bring peace and stability in the region, Judeh stressed the need to intensify international efforts to achieve progress in ending the Palestinian-Israeli conflict on the basis of the two-state solution, in accordance with international resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative.
