Prince Feisal meets US research centre delegation over ties, regional crises


(MENAFN- Jordan Times) AMMAN — HRH Prince Feisal, adviser to the King and chairman of the National Policy Council, on Thursday discussed with a delegation from the independent research Centre for American Progress to the strategic Amman-Washington relations.

The meeting, held at Al Husseiniya Palace, covered the Jordanian stances towards various regional issues, especially the peace process between Palestinians and Israelis, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

Both parties highlighted the importance of intensifying efforts to relaunch the Palestinian-Israeli peace negotiations until a just, permanent peace is reached on the basis of the two-state solution that can lead to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.

The meeting also stressed the importance of finding a political solution to Syria's conflict on the basis of theGeneva Communiqué that can safeguard Syria's territorial unity and end the large-scale suffering of its people, Petra said.

Prince Feisal and the delegation underscored the significance of sustaining the deescalation zone in southwestern Syria, which has been reached under a trilateral Jordanian-US-Russian agreement last year.

The meeting also reviewed the repercussions of the Syrian refugee influx on the Kingdom's economy, its limited resources and the pressures it puts on host communities.

Discussions also went over UNRWA's important role and the importance of enabling the relief agency to continue extending its educational, health and aid services to Palestinian refugees.

They also reviewed efforts aimed at combating terrorism within a holistic approach.
