Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - The current developments in Egypt will only increase our insistence on fighting and eradicating terrorism, Egyptian Ambassador to Jordan Khaled Tharwat said.
The ambassador added at a reception held by the Egyptian Embassy in Amman on Wednesday, on the occasion of the July 23rd Revolution, that despite the challenges posed by terrorism and extremism, Egypt is moving on the right path.
He stressed that the assassination of Egypt's top public prosecutor Hisham Barakat is only an attempt to terrorize the judicial authority and the state, noting that such an incident would only strengthen the country's insistence on fighting terrorism.
Tharwat noted that Egypt would not be able to overcome these challenges alone and needed the support of its brethren, pointing to efforts by His Majesty King Abdullah II to defend Egypt and the legitimate choices of its people.
The ambassador also stressed the strong ties between Jordan and Egypt, which are developing progressively in various fields.
