Amman - Jordan's King Abdullah II on Sunday discussed the latest efforts to reinvigorate the Middle East peace process during talks with Chilean President Sebastian Pinera, who arrived in Amman in the course of a regional tour.
Pinera briefed the monarch on the outcome of his talks with Israeli and Palestinian leaders before arriving in Jordan, according to a royal court statement.
"King Abdullah highly appreciated Chile's support for peace efforts in the region," the statement said.
The Jordanian leader also made it clear that the "entrance to the process of building comprehensive and just peace in the region lies in finding a just solution to the Palestinian question that ensures the setting up of an independent state on the Palestinian soil," it added.
The two leaders also discussed means of boosting bilateral cooperation in the spheres of renewable energy, industry, water and agriculture.
"The Chilean president emphasized his country's desire in strengthening bilateral ties with Jordan, particularly in the economic and commercial fields," the royal court statement said.
The discussion between the two leaders also covered efforts under way to sign a free trade agreement between Jordan and the Mercosur economic bloc, which comprises a number of Latin American countries, including Chile.
