Amman, Sept. 2 (Petra) - The Jordanian-Egyptian Parliamentary Brotherhood Committee and Egyptian Ambassador Khaled Abyad discussed strategic ties and cooperation.
Talks centered on expanding cooperation across parliamentary, economic, trade, cultural, energy, transportو and tourism sectors, including leveraging Egypt’s experience in developing the New Capital.
Committee Chair Abdel Nasir Hashim Mahmoud Khasawneh noted the "rapidly expanding" cooperation between Amman and Cairo.
He pointed to the historical relations between the two, supported by His Majesty King Abdullah II and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi.
Stressing the Hashemite Custodianship of Jerusalem’s holy sites, Khasawneh rejected the forced displacement of Palestinians, calling on the international community to support Palestinian statehood.
Abyad, for his part, commended King Abdullah II’s leadership, Jordan’s stance on the Palestinian cause, and the parliament's role in strengthening bilateral cooperation.
