Jordan Daily – Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Ayman Safadi on Monday began a visit to Brussels to attend the fifth ministerial meeting between the European Union and Southern Neighborhood countries, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
Safadi is expected to hold talks with European counterparts and commissioners during the visit, the ministry added.
Speaking ahead of the meeting, Safadi said ending the Israeli aggression on Gaza remains a top priority and called for the uninterrupted flow of humanitarian aid to the enclave.
“Jordan is ready to send hundreds of aid trucks daily to Gaza if Israel lifts restrictions on the entry of assistance,” the statement quoted him as saying.
Safadi said the vision for the Euro-Mediterranean region was one of “security and peace,” which he stressed could not be achieved without a resolution to the Palestinian issue based on the creation of an independent Palestinian state.
Arab states at the meeting would send a clear message, he said: “Ending the aggression is the top priority, international law must be upheld and applied equally to all, and no state should be above the law.”
“If we want our region to truly be a model of security, stability, peace, and development, it must also be a model in the application of international law,” he added.
