His Majesty King Abdullah, accompanied by HRH Crown Prince Hussein, held several talks over the past two days in New York with several heads of state and high-ranking officials on the sidelines of the 74th General Assembly of the United Nations.
The King on Tuesday met with Lebanese President Michel Aoun, with talks focusing on the distinguished bilateral relations between the two countries.
Talks also covered the two countries' keenness to bolster cooperation in various fields, a Royal Court statement said.
Discussions also covered the latest regional developments, with King Abdullah reiterating the need to intensify 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 June 6, 1967 lines, with East Jerusalem as its capital, living side by side with Israel in peace and security.
Regional crises and efforts to reach political solutions to restore security and stability to the people of the region were also reviewed during the meeting.
The two sides discussed the Syrian refugee crisis and the need for the international community to shoulder its responsibilities towards host countries to enable them to continue effectively providing relief and humanitarian services to refugees.
In a meeting with United Nations Secretary General António Guterres, the King and Guterres discussed the latest regional developments, especially efforts to achieve peace in the region, the statement said.
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 June 4 1967 lines, with East Jerusalem as its capital, living side by side with Israel in peace and security.
Discussions at the meeting, attended by Jordan’s Permanent Representative to the UN Sima Bahous, covered regional crises and efforts to reach political solutions to restore security and stability to the people of the region.
