“Today, during King Abdullah II’s visit to Brussels, the European Union and Jordan are taking their unique relationship to the next level by signing a Strategic and Comprehensive Partnership. With this partnership, the EU and Jordan are deepening what is already a long-standing relationship and strong friendship, to better meet common challenges and advance shared values of peace, democracy and human rights.
Jordan is a key partner for Europe in the Middle East and the Mediterranean, serving as a pillar of regional stability. Jordan has shown tremendous generosity by hosting millions of refugees, and it is wholeheartedly committed to the promotion of peace and security in the region and worldwide. Jordan is playing a critical role to consolidate the ceasefire in Gaza and the EU acknowledges the importance of Jordan as a regional hub for humanitarian assistance. Jordan’s leadership in supporting Syria’s transition highlights its pivotal role in shaping the region’s future.
The EU and Jordan are standing side by side to support each other in meeting the extraordinary challenges we are all facing. With the current geopolitical shifts and growing crises in the region, strengthening the EU-Jordan partnership is the right decision at the right time.”
