King to visit Moscow

AMMAN (JT) – His Majesty King Abdullah will leave for Moscow on Wednesday on a working visit to examine means to advance bilateral cooperation and discuss recent regional developments.

During the visit, King Abdullah will meet with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, according to a Royal Court statement released on Monday.

Discussions will focus on means to boost cooperation between the two countries, the latest developments in the Middle East and issues of mutual concern, the statement said.

In January, Medvedev visited Jordan upon an invitation from His Majesty.

During the visit, the King and Medvedev discussed steps to enhance cooperation in the field of nuclear energy, through Russia’s investment in Jordan’s nuclear programme, as well as the transport, water and agriculture sectors.

The two leaders also stressed their commitment to “institutionalised and effective mechanisms” to further enhance cooperation, particularly in the economic, investment and trade fields.

The mechanisms include the cancellation of double taxation, cooperation in the fields of transport and food security and taking effective measures to accelerate and develop Russian investments in the Kingdom.

Jordan and Russia also signed a memorandum of understanding to boost cooperation in the fields of oil exploration and energy during the visit.

In addition, the two countries renewed support for peace efforts in the Middle East that lead to an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.

Moscow has been a major player in the Middle East affairs and has continuously contributed to the ongoing efforts to bring peace and stability to the region.
