His Majesty King Abdullah, accompanied by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II, met with United Nations Secretary General António Guterres, in New York on Tuesday, September 24, 2019, to discuss the latest regional developments, especially efforts to achieve peace in the region.

King Abdullah stressed the need to step up international efforts to reject all unilateral measures that would undermine the two-state solution, which is the only solution to the conflict, leading to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the 4 June 1967 lines, with East Jerusalem as its capital, living side by side with Israel in peace and security.

Discussions at the meeting, held on the sidelines of the 74th General Assembly of the United Nations, covered regional crises and efforts to reach political solutions to restore security and stability to the people of the region.

The two sides stressed the importance of the memorandum of understanding signed recently in New York, under the framework of the Aqaba Process meetings, between Jordan and the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism.

Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi, Adviser to His Majesty for Communication and Coordination Bisher Khasawneh, and Jordan’s Permanent Representative to the UN Sima Bahous attended the meeting.
