Ammon News - Senate President Faisal Fayez said Jordan, under His Majesty King Abdullah II, stands firmly with Yemen in supporting Yemeni legitimacy, restoring security and stability, preserving its sovereignty and territorial unity, and ending its people's suffering.

Fayez met in his office Monday with Yemeni Foreign and Expatriates Minister Afrah Abdulaziz Zouba, in the presence of Yemeni Ambassador to Jordan Jalal Faqira. They discussed relations, ways to strengthen them, and current developments in Yemen.
