Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Ayman Safadi, discussed on Thursday, with his Canadian counterpart, Marc Garneau, ways to develop “distinguished” relations between the two friendly countries, and regional and international developments of common interest.

On top are Palestinian cause and international efforts aimed at finding a political horizon and launching serious negotiations between the Palestinian and Israeli sides to achieve a comprehensive and just peace on the basis of the two-state solution, and stop illegal Israeli practices that undermine chances of achieving peace in the region, said a ministry’s statement.

In a joint press conference, Safadi said Garneau’s visit to the Kingdom is “an indication of the deep-rooted Jordanian-Canadian relations and the joint keenness to continue dialogues and discussions aimed at strengthening bilateral cooperation and developing relations based on shared values ??in providing a better life for peoples.”

Safadi congratulated his Canadian counterpart on the occasion of Canada Day (National Day), which falls on July 1st.

Safadi also expressed his “deepest” condolences and “sincere” sympathy to the government and people of Canada over victims of the heat wave that hit Canada in an “unprecedented” way.

Safadi noted talks with his Canadian counterpart were based on previous dialogues held by His Majesty King Abdullah II and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, over years of contact and joint action to increase bilateral cooperation in the trade, economic and investment fields, as well as security, defense and counter- terrorism areas.
