AMMAN, May 18 (Xinhua) -- Jordan on Saturday stressed the important role of the European Union (EU) in resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict on the basis of the two-state solution.
Jordan's Minister of Foreign Affairs Ayman Safadi said in an official statement that the solution should guarantee the right of the Palestinians to establish an independent state at the borders of 1967 with East Jerusalem as its capital.
The remarks were made by Safadi at a meeting with EU Special Representative for the Middle East Peace Process Susanna Terstal where he underlined the need to intensify international efforts to attain such a solution on the basis of the international legitimacy resolutions.
He warned that the continuation of the current conditions and the lack of hope in the Palestinian territories will negatively affect the security in the region and the world.
The minister highly baked the EU's support to UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees, which he said plays a role in bridging the funding gap.
The two sides agreed on continuing coordination to find a political solution to the conflict.
The EU official voiced her appreciation for Jordan's efforts in preserving stability and security in the Middle East.
