Xinhua, February 20, 2017 Adjust font size:

King Abdullah II of Jordan on Sunday reiterated his support of the two-state solution to solve the Palestinian issue and attain peace, reported the state-run Petra news agency.

The King expressed the support during a meeting with parliamentary committees, where he reviewed developments in the Middle East.

The Jordanian leader stressed that efforts to dissolve the stalemate in the peace process and resume serious and effective peace negotiations between Palestinians and Israelis must be based on the two-state solution, the only way to end the conflict.

Also on Sunday, King Abdullah met with a U.S. congressional delegation and both sides discussed developments in the Middle East.

The king voiced support for the U.S.'s continued backing of Jordan, enabling it to cope with the economic and security challenges posed by the influx of Syrian refugees into the Kingdom.

Discussions also focused on efforts devoted to relaunching productive peace talks between Palestinians and Israelis based on the two-state solution.

Both sides also discussed the latest developments in Syria and Iraq as well as efforts to combat terrorism. Endit
