  • [01] Karamanlis meets visiting Jordanian King Abdallah II

    Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis on Thursday received Jordan's King Abdallah II, who arrived in Greece on an official two-day visit, for talks on bilateral relations and the Middle East peace process.

    In statements after the meeting, Karamanlis said Jordan had rightfully earned the respect of the international community for its moderate and constructive stance on world issues and that King Abdallah had helped to further enhance his country's role internationally.

    Jordan's positions on the Palestinian issue and other regional issues carried weight and always had particular significance for achieving lasting peace in the Middle East, the Greek premier added.

    King Abdallah said that he and Karamanlis both agreed that the road map for the Middle East approved by the entire international community offered a viable mechanism for seeking a just, lasting and comprehensive peaceful solution in the area.

    He also commented on the elections recently held in Iraq, saying that this was an important step forward and marked the start of a new chapter in the country's history.

    "We will continue to support the Iraqis so that they too can have a stable, united, prosperous and peaceful country," he said.

    According to Karamanlis, the prospects for Middle East peace were particularly good at present and he stressed that the present conjuncture, in which both Israelis and Palestinians had made mutual concessions, should not be allowed to pass unused. At the same time, he said that both sides should fully keep their commitments, as these arose from the road map for peace.
