Representing the King.. Crown Prince participates in the 'MED9' summit in Croatia

Representing His Majesty King Abdullah II, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II participated today, Wednesday, in the proceedings of the Southern European Union "MED9" summit, held in Croatia under the theme "Towards More Security, Sustainability, and Resilience in the Mediterranean Region."

In a speech delivered during the summit, His Royal Highness valued Jordan's invitation to participate in this summit for the third consecutive year, which reflects the strength of the relations between the Kingdom and the "MED9" group countries.

The Crown Prince emphasized the importance of intensifying international efforts to de-escalate tensions in the region and ensure freedom of navigation in international waterways, stressing the need for the international community to address the root causes of the escalation in the region.

His Royal Highness noted the repercussions of the war in the region and the world, as some countries have been subjected to attacks, while many others have faced economic challenges such as rising prices, energy shortages, and supply chain disruptions, noting that Jordan has witnessed the impact of the war on both fronts.

The Crown Prince stressed the centrality of the Palestinian cause when dealing with regional crises, pointing out that the humanitarian situation in Gaza remains difficult, especially in light of the restrictions placed on the flow of aid, including that coming from Jordan.

His Royal Highness reiterated Jordan's rejection of attempts to displace Palestinians, which constitute a violation of international law that must be stopped.

The Crown Prince warned against developments in the West Bank and Jerusalem, including settler attacks, affirming that the two-state solution is the only way to achieve a just and lasting peace.

Regarding the situation in Syria and Lebanon, His Royal Highness affirmed that Jordan is working closely with its partners to support the efforts of both brotherly countries to achieve stability and development and ensure their sovereignty, despite the challenges posed by Israeli attacks to these efforts.

The Crown Prince pointed to Jordanian-European relations, noting the potential available for Jordan and the "MED9" group countries to build upon through joint projects in the fields of energy, trade, and technology, which would enhance employment, education, and the exchange of expertise.

His Royal Highness stated that Jordan serves as a strategic gateway connecting the Middle East with Europe, offering significant opportunities in various fields such as electrical interconnection, renewable energy, railways, digital connectivity, infrastructure, and logistics corridors.

The Crown Prince noted that many of these opportunities will be presented during the Jordan-Europe Investment Conference, which the Kingdom will host next November.
