ISLAMABAD: Pakistan and Jordan on Saturday reaffirmed their “zero tolerance” for any displacement of Palestinians and agreed to deepen coordination among Muslim countries working on the implementation of the Gaza peace plan, as King Abdullah II met Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in Islamabad, the government said.
The Jordanian monarch arrived earlier in the day for a state visit, receiving a welcome from President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Sharif to discuss the full spectrum of bilateral ties.
Pakistan and Jordan, which have long enjoyed close relations, were part of discussions on President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan alongside Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, Indonesia, Türkiye and the United Arab Emirates earlier this year in September.
King Abdullah was given a guard of honor at the Prime Minister’s House before both leaders held wide-ranging talks on regional security and peace initiatives.
“The Prime Minister welcomed His Majesty King Abdullah II ibn Al Hussein’s visit to Pakistan, highlighting it as a testament to the enduring friendship between Pakistan and Jordan,” said a statement released by Sharif’s office after the meeting.
