Amman, July 28 (Petra) – Minister of Foreign and Expatriates Affairs Ayman Safadi and Foreign Minister of Pakistan Ishaq Dar discussed the development of the relations between Jordan and Pakistan, in line with the outcomes of His Majesty King Abdullah II's visit to Pakistan on November 14, 2015.

In a phone call Tuesday, Safadi and Dar said they are committed to strengthening cooperation and called for ensuring the success of efforts to uphold the ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran and to reach a solution that guarantees freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz while addressing all sources of regional tension.

Safadi commended Pakistan's important role in efforts to defuse the crisis and support a lasting solution.

The two ministers discussed the dangerous escalation in the occupied West Bank resulting from Israel's continued illegal measures, which they said further entrench the occupation and seek to alter the historical and legal status quo at Al-Aqsa Mosque.

They condemned these provocative and illegal actions and called for coordinated regional and international efforts to confront them.

Safadi and Dar called for the implementation of all provisions of U.S. President Donald Trump's plan regarding Gaza.

The two ministers exchanged views on regional and international issues of mutual interest.
