ANKARA, Aug. 19 (Xinhua) — Jordan’s Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh said on Wednesday that Jordan attaches great importance to Turkey’s role in the Middle East peace process, Turkey’s semi-official Anatolia news agency reported.
Turkey should keep playing its role in the region, while Jordan highly values and is eager to boost its relations with Turkey, Judeh said at a press conference after meeting with his Turkish counterpart Ahmet Davutoglu during a visit to Ankara.
Judeh said he would present a letter from King Abdullah II of Jordan to Turkish President Abdullah Gul on Wednesday, which underlined the importance of continuation of peace talks in the Middle East.
He said there was currently a positive atmosphere in the region, while a solution to the Middle East issue would be possible with a comprehensive and fair peace as well as the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.
He also noted that security and stability should be secured in Iraq, while restructuring works should continue.
On his part, Davutoglu urged Palestinian factions to act for unity to achieve peace in the Middle East.
“Our Palestinian brothers should come together with a common attitude and find a common ground of reconciliation in the shortest possible time,” Davutoglu said at the press conference.
He said he hoped the upcoming Palestinian presidential and parliamentary elections in January would help maintain unity and create political stability in the territories.
Judeh is on a visit to Turkey at the invitation of Davutoglu.
