King receives call from Morocco’s monarch

AMMAN — His Majesty King Abdullah on Tuesday received a phone call from Moroccan King Mohammed VI, during which both leaders discussed the latest developments in the region. 

His Majesty and the Moroccan king also addressed issues of mutual concern, according to a Royal Court statement. 

Earlier this month, King Abdullah held talks with the Moroccan king in Casablanca, which focused on fostering the “deeply rooted and brotherly” Jordanian-Moroccan ties and addressed ways to activate cooperation in various fields.

A communiqué said the two leaders directed their respective governments to prepare cooperation programmes to be endorsed during the Joint Higher Committee’s fifth session meetings that are scheduled to be held in Morocco this year.

Amman and Rabat said they saw eye-to-eye on various issues on the political scene in Arab and Islamic countries, with the two leaders stressing the importance of endeavours under way to intensify the efforts of the international community in combating radicalism and terrorism.
