Amman, Oct. 5 (Petra) — Senate President Faisal Fayez said Jordan,
under His Majesty King Abdullah II, stands firmly with Yemen in
supporting Yemeni legitimacy, restoring security and stability,
preserving its sovereignty and territorial unity, and ending its
people’s suffering.

Fayez met in his office Monday with Yemeni Foreign and Expatriates
Minister Afrah Abdulaziz Zouba, in the presence of Yemeni Ambassador
to Jordan Jalal Faqira. They discussed relations, ways to strengthen
them, and current developments in Yemen.

Fayez stressed the Kingdom’s solidarity with the Yemeni government in
facing attacks by the Houthi militia. He said Jordan rejects Iranian
attacks, including those carried out through Iran’s proxies in the
region, on Jordan, the Arab Gulf states and Yemen.

He also welcomed efforts to enable the Yemeni government to extend
its control over all Yemeni territory.

Fayez referred to the King’s address to the UN General Assembly,
saying it presented the international community with the reality of
the current stage in the region and the responsibilities it entails
for protecting security and stability, halting violations and
respecting international law.

Zouba praised Jordan’s support for Yemen and for the Yemeni people
and legitimacy. She also commended the King’s efforts to end
conflicts in the region, unify Arab ranks and defend Arab causes.

She affirmed Yemen’s commitment to developing and sustaining
relations with Jordan to serve shared interests.
