Jordanian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi has expressed strong willingness to enhance cooperation with China to promote the two-state solution and resolve regional issues through dialogue and diplomacy.
In an exclusive interview with China Central Television, Safadi, who is accompanying King Abdullah II ibn Al Hussein on a visit to China, underscored that the Palestinian issue remains the core concern in the Middle East. He highly commended China's clear and principled stance on the issue.
"We appreciate China's clear position within this framework. China supports the two-state solution, and China supports a just and comprehensive resolution to the Palestinian issue. This is a position we respect. We also look forward to China being part of and playing a role in advancing efforts to achieve this solution," he said before his China visit.
Safadi further elaborated on the broader principles for resolving conflicts in the region, emphasizing the necessity of adhering to international law.
"In general, we always want to resolve conflicts through dialogue and diplomacy. But the basis for this dialogue must be international law, international humanitarian law, the UN Charter, and international legitimacy resolutions, while respecting the principles of good-neighborliness and non-interference in internal affairs. This is the framework we follow to achieve security and stability," he said.
Safadi expressed optimism about bilateral cooperation with Beijing. "We look forward to cooperating with China, which plays an important role in achieving this goal, achieving a just peace that guarantees the rights of all parties, brings security and stability, and ultimately drives economic development so that all peoples of the region can live with dignity and security."
