According to Qatar News Agency, His Excellency remarked that the visit underscores the commitment of both nations’ leaderships to maintain coordination and dialogue on pressing regional and international issues, with the Palestinian cause being a central focus.

The Ambassador pointed to recent mutual visits by officials from both countries and the signing of bilateral agreements as evidence of growing cooperation. He also emphasized joint efforts to address the Palestinian issue and humanitarian aid initiatives in the Gaza Strip, reflecting the coordinated stance of Jordan and Qatar against unilateral actions by the Israeli occupation.
