He stressed that Jordan is not seeking to join the European Union, “but we have achieved good progress through our partnership with the European Union and the free trade agreements with Canada and the United States.”

Jordan is the world’s largest host country for refugees relative to its population, safadi noting, highlighting that Jordan has been able to deal with all challenges while remaining firm in its positions, adopting dynamic technologies and programs to mitigate damage, and successfully placing itself on the right track.

Despite all the challenges, Jordan has maintained the country’s stability and achieved economic growth, emphasizing that the Kingdom is steadily advancing on various paths of economic, social, and investment reform, Safadi added.

He also said that Jordan has launched major projects enabling it to meet its needs, particularly in the water sector, which he described as a major challenge.

It also discussed ways to maintain openness and adaptability while adhering to core values, in addition to issues related to crisis preparedness, strengthening public institutions, expanding economic opportunities, enriching the shared cultural space, and the importance of building a common vision and unified direction to confront challenges.
