Amman, May 15 (Petra) – Minister of Public Works and Housing, Maher Abu Samen, affirmed the government’s “commitment” to providing support to the Palestinian people, which comes under the direct guidance and close follow-up of His Majesty King Abdullah II.

During his meeting on Thursday with Head of the Palestinian Contractors Union (PCU), Dr. Ahmad Qadi, Abu Samen noted Jordan will maintain “key” support for the Palestinian cause in all forums.

The minister also stressed the importance of strengthening cooperation of the ministry and the two countries’ contractor sector to achieve “tangible” progress in this field.
