Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - Kuwaiti First Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister Sheikh Sabah Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah said Jordan is an active member and has an important role in the coalition against terrorism.
During an open session at the conclusion of the Arab Media Forum in Kuwait, Al Sabah said that Jordan shoulders major responsibilities, especially as it is a neighbor of Syria and Iraq, where the terrorist group Daesh is active.
He also pointed to the visit of the Emir of Kuwait, Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah, to Jordan, noting that talks had focused on the situation in Syria and Iraq and the fight against terrorism.
"Jordan has another responsibility, as it is the Arab representative at the UN Security Council. The presence of His Royal Highness Crown Prince Hussein Bin Abdullah and Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh at the UN headquarters in New York to follow up on Arab issues is very important," the minister added.
Jordan, the minister said, had played an important role in the issuance of Security Council resolution 2216 on Yemen.
