Amman, Oct. 11 (Petra) -- Senate President Faisal Fayez met Sunday with Norwegian Ambassador to Jordan Andreas Lovold to discuss the ways to broaden cooperation.
Talking at the meeting, Fayez said the two kingdoms share "firm" ties, built on mutual respect and common interests.
He also stressed Jordan's commitment to sustaining relations, strengthening economic cooperation, building investment partnerships and activating bilateral agreements.
He praised Norway's support for Jordan, including assistance in meeting refugees' needs and its support for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).
The meeting also covered regional developments, including the Iranian-American-Israeli war and its repercussions for the security and stability of the region and the world.
Fayez said widening the war would push the region toward more conflict, chaos and destruction.
Reviewing the latest developments on the Palestinian cause, he said King Abdullah II, in his address to the United Nations General Assembly, confronted the international community with the reality of war crimes committed by Israel in the occupied West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
Fayez said the King highlighted that events in the West Bank and Gaza are inseperable, referring to His Majesty's remarks on spread of settler violence, land seizures and settlement expansion in the West Bank, which amount to war crimes and forced displacement.
Fayez also reiterated Jordan's rejection of attacks by Iran and its proxies in the region on the Kingdom and the Arab Gulf states. He condemned Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia and the targeting of civilians.
Lovold, for his part, praised the King's role in advancing regional security and stability. He highlighted the importance of strengthening economic and investment partnership and activating agreements across various fields.
He also urged continued bilateral coordination on issues of mutual concern, particularly at the regional level, and the importance of peaceful solutions to end the conflicts in the region.
