The Jordanian Foreign Minister stresses the need to reach a political solution to the Syrian crisis

Yesterday, Saturday, Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi, during his participation in a dialogue seminar held in the Bahraini capital, Manama, on regional challenges and efforts to resolve conflicts, called for intensifying international efforts to reach a political solution to the Syrian crisis, calling for the launch of serious and effective negotiations to settle it.

The Jordanian foreign minister said: “There is no clear strategy to solve the Syrian crisis, and the Arabs must contribute to developing this strategy to ensure a political solution to the crisis.”

Safadi stressed the need to intensify efforts to reach a political solution to the Syrian crisis, that preserves the country’s unity and cohesion and restores its security and stability, and stressed the need to adopt effective approaches to resolving the crisis, ending the disaster and ensuring Syria’s security, unity and stability.

About the Palestinian issue, Safadi pointed out that a just and comprehensive peace based on the two-state solution is an Arab strategic option, in order to enhance regional and international peace and security.

He stressed the need to launch serious and effective negotiations on the basis of international legitimacy decisions and to create a political horizon for progress towards resolving the conflict.

The Jordanian foreign minister had met the special envoy of the Russian president to Syria, Alexander Lavrentiev, in the capital Amman at the end of last October, when the latter tried to invite Jordan to participate in the Damascus Refugee Conference, which was held last November. However, Safadi stressed that The solution in Syria will guarantee the exit of all foreign forces, and provide conditions for the voluntary return of refugees to their homeland.
