LONDON: King Abdullah of Jordan, President Nikos Christodoulides of Cyprus, and Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis of Greece met at Al-Husseiniya Palace on Wednesday to discuss cooperation and strengthen their countries’ ties.
The fifth Jordan-Cyprus-Greece Trilateral Summit in Amman focused on enhancing cooperation and discussing regional developments, alongside the partnership between Jordan and the EU, according to Petra news agency.
King Abdullah said the summit served as an important platform for enhancing economic ties and trade and investment opportunities in water, energy, education, and tourism.
He highlighted the importance of capitalizing on the strategic locations of Jordan, Cyprus, and Greece, which serve as vital bridges in the Eastern Mediterranean, Petra added.
He emphasized that Jordan’s partnership with the EU positively impacts regional and global stability and prosperity. The first Trilateral Summit was held in 2018.
“Ongoing conflicts, economic repercussions and security concerns require continued cooperation and coordination and commitment to stability and peace,” King Abdullah said.
Crown Prince Hussein also attended the meeting. Christodoulides and Mitsotakis were received upon arrival at Queen Alia International Airport early on Wednesday by Amman’s Mayor Yousef Shawarbeh and Gov. Yasser Adwan.
