Jordan's King Abdullah II on Sunday received a delegation from the U.S. House of Representatives, headed by Nancy Pelosi, head of the Democratic Party's Bloc, for a discussion on Jordan-U.S. cooperation and strategic partnership and regional and international issues. During the meeting, King Abdullah emphasized the importance of achieving a just and comprehensive peace in the region, underlining the need to intensify regional and international efforts to re-launch negotiations between the Palestinians and Israelis on the basis of the two-state solution, leading to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital. King Abdullah highlighted the role the U.S. can play in this regard. The King and the U.S. lawmakers tackled Middle East challenges and crises, and the efforts to reach political solutions to them, in addition to the war on terror within a holistic approach.
