CAIRO – 2 September 2025: Egyptian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Badr Abdelaty, held a consultative meeting on Tuesday with his Jordanian counterpart Ayman Safadi on the sidelines of the Bled Strategic Forum in Slovenia.
The ministers praised the strategic partnership between Egypt and Jordan, reiterating their commitment to advancing the outcomes of the recent session of the Egyptian-Jordanian Joint Higher Committee. They stressed the importance of enhancing bilateral cooperation—particularly in energy, trade, and investment, in ways that benefit both nations and support regional security and stability.
The meeting focused extensively on developments in the occupied Palestinian territories. Both sides reaffirmed their commitment to intensifying efforts to achieve an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, end the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe, and ensure the urgent, unconditional delivery of humanitarian, relief, and medical aid.
The ministers strongly condemned the ongoing Israeli aggression and the expansion of military operations in Gaza. They reiterated their complete rejection of forced displacement, starvation policies, and settlement expansion, describing them as blatant violations of international law that exacerbate human suffering and undermine prospects for peace.
They called on the international community, especially influential global powers and partners—to take responsibility for ending the aggression and addressing the root causes of the crisis. The ministers stressed that regional stability cannot be achieved amid continued Israeli provocations in the West Bank and Gaza.
Both ministers underscored that the only path to a just and lasting peace lies in the establishment of an independent Palestinian state along the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. They reaffirmed Egypt and Jordan’s commitment to supporting international recognition of the State of Palestine and upholding the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.
