Egypt's military rulers keen on good ties with Jordan

Mon, 07 Mar 2011

Amman - Egypt's military rulers have told Jordan's King Abdullah II they wish to preserve the traditional good ties between the two countries, according to a royal court statement Monday.

In a message, the Chairman of the Supreme Council of the Egyptian Armed Forces, Field Marshall Hussein Tantawi, said Egypt wanted to develop such ties "on all levels."

Tantawi also pledged that Egypt would "continue to work actively in all its foreign policy domains during the transitional six-month period and until the conduction of the parliamentary and presidential elections".

It was the highest-level contact between the two countries since the downfall of former Egyptian president Hosny Mubarak, on February 11.

Jordan and Egypt are the only two Arab states to have concluded official peace treaties with Israel.
