Amman : Jordanian Foreign Minister Salah al-Din Al-Bashir has held discussions here with the Russian envoy for the peace process in the Middle East, Alexander Sultanov, on efforts to push forward the peace process.
Al-Bashir said Monday that Jordan supported enhanced Russian role in the peace process, mainly in this critical situation, which requires intensifying international efforts to push forward talks between the Palestinians and Israelis.
Al-Bashir urged Moscow to wield more pressure on Israel to immediately halt its military operations in the Gaza Strip, highlighting Jordan’s denunciation for such violations.
Sultanov, on his part, briefed Al-Bashir on the latest Russian efforts to achieve a factual progress in the Middle East peace process, underlining his country’s keenness to play a vital and balanced role in the region.
