Amman, Sept 6 (Petra) -- Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign and Expatriate Affairs Ayman Safadi and UK Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs Ed Miliband affirmed on Sunday their commitment to strengthening the partnership between Jordan and the United Kingdom and deepening coordination to bolster regional security and stability.

In a phone call, Safadi and Miliband explored avenues to expand bilateral cooperation across various sectors.

The two ministers reviewed regional developments, underscoring their support for efforts aimed at ending dangerous escalations across the Middle East. They agreed to sustain coordination to stabilize Gaza and ensure the continuous, adequate delivery of humanitarian aid to the enclave.

Discussions also addressed the deteriorating situation in the occupied West Bank. Safadi warned against ongoing illegal Israeli escalation, which he stressed risks igniting broader conflict in the region.

Safadi praised the UK’s steadfast support for the two-state solution as the path toward achieving a just and comprehensive peace that guarantees security for all parties.
