His Majesty King Abdullah on Tuesday discussed, in a meeting with British Prime Minister Theresa May, the economic challenges facing Jordan due to regional crises.

King Abdullah expressed appreciation for British support for Jordan, as the UK plans to host a conference next year to support Jordan’s economy and promote investment.

Discussions covered the historical ties between Jordan and the UK, and means to bolster their strategic partnership.

The meeting also touched on the developments related to the peace process, with His Majesty affirming that the two-state solution, which guarantees the establishment of an independent Palestinian state in the 4 June 1967 lines with East Jerusalem as its capital, is the only way to end the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

In addition, discussions covered the financial challenges facing UNRWA. The King stressed the need to support the UN agency and sustain its relief, health, and educational services for refugees.

Efforts to fight terrorism within a holistic approach were also discussed.

Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi, Adviser to His Majesty and Director of the Office of His Majesty Manar Dabbas, and Adviser to His Majesty for Economic Affairs Mohamad Al Ississ attended the meeting.
