Breizat Participates in World Peoples' Assembly Sessions in Moscow

The President of the Jordanian-Russian Parliamentary Friendship Association, MP Dr. Abdul Hadi Breizat, participated in four sessions over two days as part of the activities of the World Peoples' Assembly held in the Russian capital, Moscow.

The sessions focused on issues of peace and traditional values, health in light of global challenges and crises, scientific, educational, and commercial partnership in Greater Eurasia, and international tourism: development and cooperation prospects.

In the session titled "Building a Community of Peace Ambassadors and Traditional Values," Breizat confirmed that the Jordanian experience stands out as a state that has made moderation and dialogue part of its foreign and domestic policy, pointing out that His Majesty King Abdullah II has, over the years, carried a clear message in confronting extremism and calling for recognition of the other and respect for religious and cultural diversity.

Breizat pointed out that this approach has led to global Jordanian initiatives, such as the Amman Message and the Global Interfaith Harmony Week adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on a Jordanian initiative.

In the session titled "Maintaining Health within New Protocols for the State, Science, and Society," Breizat confirmed that the Corona pandemic taught the world that health security is no longer just a national issue, and that a virus that starts somewhere can, within days, become a crisis affecting the economy, education, security, and social stability in the whole world.

He said that today's talk about health must go beyond building hospitals and increasing the number of beds to building a system capable of prevention and early response, protecting the most vulnerable groups, and employing science, data, and technology in the service of humanity.

He pointed out that healthcare in Jordan is one of the axes of the national modernization program, explaining that the Ministry of Health, within the executive program of the economic modernization vision 2026-2029, set the goal of achieving comprehensive health coverage, enhancing primary health care, and building an integrated digital health system.

He said that this vision gains greater importance in the region, which has borne the burdens of wars, refugees, and displacement, while the continued attacks on civilians and health facilities in Gaza remind the international community that the right to health does not lapse in times of war, stressing the need for a new international protocol linking public health, science, data, and human security.

He called for the establishment of a regional and international network for health preparedness and crisis response, in which countries exchange expertise, data, and research capabilities, and ensure access to technology and essential treatments for less capable countries, stressing that protecting human health must be a right.

In the third session, titled "Scientific, Educational, and Commercial Partnership in Greater Eurasia," Breizat confirmed that talking about Greater Eurasia should not be limited to geography or trade lines and economic corridors, but should be expanded to include humans, knowledge, universities, and scientific research.

He said that successive crises have proven that countries that possess knowledge, technology, and the ability to produce competencies are the most capable of protecting their national decision-making independence, and thus Jordan views education and scientific research as part of national security and economic development, not just service sectors.

He added that this vision is in line with the economic modernization path in the Kingdom and the growing investment in skills, the digital economy, and value-added sectors, noting that Jordan, due to its geographical location, can be a link between the Mashreq, the Gulf, Europe, and Asia, especially in the fields of education, tourism, logistics, services, and knowledge.

In the fourth session, titled "International Tourism: Development and Cooperation Prospects," Breizat said that Jordan represents an outstanding model of what tourism can offer in the service of cultural and human dialogue, as Jordan has a diverse tourism product that combines archaeological, cultural, religious, and natural heritage, and the Kingdom is working to enhance its presence in international tourism markets, diversify target markets, and develop cultural and heritage tourism and other tourism experiences.

He said that religious tourism is of particular importance, given the historical and religious status of the Kingdom, and foremost among them are Christian pilgrimage sites, where preparations are underway to commemorate the 2000th anniversary of the baptism of Jesus Christ in 2030.
