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.

strengthening cooperation and called for ensuring the success of

The two ministers discussed the dangerous escalation in the occupied
West Bank resulting from Israel’s continued illegal measures, which

historical and legal status quo at Al-Aqsa Mosque.

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.
