Speaker of the Lower House of Parliament Ahmed Safadi on Tuesday received the head and members of the Saudi-Jordanian Parliamentary Friendship Committee at the Saudi Shura Council.
Jordan, Safadi emphasized, stands by Saudi Arabia and the Arab Gulf states in their efforts to defend their borders and lands and ensure the safety of their citizens, stressing that Jordan’s security is an integral part of the Arab Gulf states’ security.
The challenges the Arab world faces call for cooperation that strengthens pan-Arab solidarity, highlighting the significance of uniting efforts in support of the fundamental causes of the Arab people, with the Palestinian cause at the forefront.
For his part, Chairman of the Saudi-Jordanian Parliamentary Friendship Committee Ibrahim al-Qannas said that the two nations have a long history and strong bond that their leaders are constantly working to strengthen.
The Saudi delegation praised Jordan’s defense of the Palestinian cause under King Abdullah’s leadership and His Majesty’s custodianship of the Muslim and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem.
The Saudi ambassador to Amman, Nayef bin Bandar al-Sudair, said that Jordan plays a significant role in supporting the Palestinian cause through the Hashemite Custodianship of Islamic and Christian holy places, adding that “Jordan is our most important ally in the region and our entry point to support our Palestinian brothers”.
