President Armen Sarkissian met on December 3 with Ayman Safadi, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, who is on an official visit to Armenia.

As reported by the press service of the President of the Republic of Armenia, the minister conveyed the warm greetings of King Abdullah II Ibn Al-Hussein Al-Hashimi and expressed determination to advance bilateral cooperation.

President Sarkissian fondly recalled his visit to Jordan in April of this year and his meeting with King Abdullah II, noting with gratitude that the Hashemite royal family has historically always had a warm attitude towards the Armenian people and has supported them.
