In a joint press conference, Safadi affirmed that contacts between Jordan and Hungary are ongoing, and said, “We have met more than seven times over the past years, and I hope that this visit will be the beginning of more cooperation and coordination between our two countries,” pointing out to the visit paid by His Majesty King Abdullah II to Budapest, and the Hungarian President’s visit to the Kingdom. Safadi said that ties between the two countries are solid, and the dialogue he held today with the Hungarian minister reflected the common desire to continue strengthening bilateral relations in various fields. He pointed out that the talks touched on many steps that can be taken to enhance cooperation between the two countries. “Next month, we are looking forward to the convening of the Jordanian-Hungarian joint economic committee, which will also be accompanied by the private sectors of the two countries to exchange information and ideas on how to increase cooperation in key sectors including water, food security, medical equipment, and others,” Safadi said. Safadi expressed appreciation for grants provided by the Hungarian government to Jordanian students, as there are more than a thousand Jordanian students who are studying in Hungary and benefit from the educational capabilities of the Hungarian educational institutions, and they also represent an investment in human relations between the two countries. With regard to regional affairs, Safadi said that the Jordanian role has always aimed at resolving regional crises and achieving security, stability and peace, which reflects positively on the entire region. Safadi added, “We live in a region that suffers from many crises, and the Jordanian role has always been and will continue to be a role aimed at resolving regional crises and achieving security, stability and peace, which reflects positively on the entire region.” “Challenges are many, but we can only continue our efforts to stop regional crises, the suffering they cause to their victims, and the dangers they pose to our common security. We are geographically far away, but we live in one neighborhood, and what is happening in our region is reflected in our friends in Europe. What happens in Europe also affects us,” Safadi further added.
