SOFIA, April 3 (Xinhua) -- Bulgarian President Rumen Radev on Thursday said his country supports Jordan's efforts to end the crisis in the Gaza Strip peacefully.
Radev made the remarks at a meeting with King Abdullah II of Jordan, who was on an official visit to Bulgaria.
"Rumen Radev expressed Bulgaria's support for Jordan, as well as for the personal efforts of King Abdullah II to end the bloodshed and destruction in the Gaza Strip, to overcome the severe humanitarian crisis and to find a peaceful solution through diplomacy," the Press Secretariat of the Bulgarian President said.
During the meeting, Radev stressed that Bulgaria remains firm in its position that a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the only way to achieve sustainable and lasting peace in the region.
Radev also said that Jordan has a leading role in the Arab world, and is a recognized factor in stability in the Middle East region. Meanwhile, Bulgaria, as a member of the European Union (EU) and NATO, is making active efforts to strengthen trust, cooperation and good neighborliness in the Balkans and in Europe.
"The responsibility of our two countries towards security issues in these two key regions makes us very close and allows us to work together and seek common solutions not only at the bilateral level, but also within all international organizations and initiatives," Radev noted.
Before the meeting, Radev welcomed King Abdullah II with an official ceremony at St Alexander Nevsky Square, and the Jordanian king paid tribute at the Monument to the Unknown Soldier.
On Friday, Radev and King Abdullah II will host a high-level meeting in Sofia within the framework of the Aqaba Process Initiative, which will be focused on the Balkans.
The Aqaba Process Initiative is a series of international meetings launched by King Abdullah in 2015. Its aim is to maintain international and regional coordination and cooperation in the fight against terrorism, extremist ideologies and radicalization through a comprehensive approach. Enditem
