Jordanian Prime Minister Hanu Muli said Sunday the Jordanian dinar is strong and the situation is reassuring, the state-run Petra news agency reported.
Muli made the remarks at a workshop at the King Hussein Club in the capital Amman, saying that the Jordanian currency is stable and there are no fears.
He added that the foreign currency reserves exceed 12 billion U.S. dollars and are growing constantly.
The Jordanian dinar will continue to be pegged to the U.S. dollar, he said, warning against rumors about the strength of the currency.
On foreign policy, he stressed that the two-state solution is the key solution to the Palestinian issue, and that Jordan will continue efforts with the international community to urge Israel to resume talks with the Palestinians.
These peace talks, he said, should be time specific and in line with a clear schedule leading to the creation of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.
Jordan will continue to take all legal and diplomatic measures to stop the Israeli violations and measures that seek to alter the status quo in Jerusalem, adding that Jordan is against relocating the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and highlighted the consequences. Endit
