Today I had the opportunity to attend the EU-Jordan Association Council here in the Dead Sea, the first Council to be held outside "Brussels", an idea endorsed by Greece as well.
Jordan is a very important country, a country that participates together with Cyprus and Greece in a trilateral format. Along with Greece, it is also one of the seven founding members of the East Mediterranean Gas Forum. Jordan’s stability is therefore a very important issue for Greece.
In addition to the Association Council, I also had the opportunity to talk with King Abdullah II, along with the other fellow Ministers who were present, and to assure him of the Greek Government’s, the Mitsotakis Government’s support for Jordan’s future and the important role it plays in the region.
