Jordan, Mexico foreign ministers talk ties, region

Amman, July 29 (Petra) – Minister of Foreign and Expatriates Affairs
Ayman Safadi and Mexico’s Foreign Minister, Roberto Velasco,
discussed strengthening ties and addressing regional developments.

In a telephone call on Wednesday, Safadi and Velasco agreed to
activate regular rounds of political consultations between their
foreign ministries under a 2015 memorandum of understanding.

The first round is scheduled for the end of 2026, and the two
ministers will meet on the sidelines of the United Nations General
Assembly in September to discuss practical steps to expand
cooperation and coordination.

Safadi briefed his counterpart on developments in the occupied
Palestinian territories, highlighting the worsening situation in the
occupied West Bank as a result of what he described as illegal
Israeli measures and ongoing violations in Jerusalem and its Islamic
and Christian holy sites.

Safadi congratulated Velasco on his appointment and expressed his
commitment to working closely with him to strengthen
Jordanian-Mexican relations and enhance coordination on issues of
mutual interest.
