Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Dr. Ayman Safadi, said that Jordan’s foreign policy, led by His Majesty the King, is based on firm and clear principles and positions, characterized by dynamism in its tools in a way that serves the national interests of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.Speaking during a lecture at Yarmouk University, attended by the University President, Prof. Malek A. Alsharairi, entitled “Jordanian Foreign Policy: The Jordanian Diplomatic Role in Confronting Regional Crises,” organized by the Department of Political and International Studies at the Faculty of Arts, Safadi said that the region is facing challenges from all sides. However, through the wisdom of the leadership and the determination of Jordanians, Jordan has managed to remain safe, stable, distinguished, and productive through its contributions.In his lecture, held at Al-Kindi Auditorium, Safadi addressed the main constants of Jordanian foreign policy, foremost among them serving Jordan and striving to make the region a stable one free of crises, thereby enabling economic development that positively reflects on society and individuals, and provides the means for a dignified life that opens wide horizons for achievement.He added that Jordanian policy is founded on a solid and firm base, the essence of which is that security and stability are achieved through justice in the region, lifting injustice, and building a network of regional and international relations that allows the integration needed by countries of the region to move forward in building the future our people need.Safadi stressed that the central cause for Jordan has always been and will remain the Palestinian cause, explaining that the primary goal lies in resolving this issue on just foundations that guarantee the Palestinian people’s right to freedom and to an independent state on their national soil with Jerusalem as its capital, based on the two-state solution as the optimal path to achieving security, peace, and lasting stability in the region.He noted that the efforts led by His Majesty the King in various international forums are continuous and sustained to convey the message of Palestinian rights to the entire world, reiterating that “there can be no security, peace, or stability in the region without resolving the Palestinian issue on just foundations.”Safadi affirmed that over the past two years, His Majesty the King has made uninterrupted efforts to stop the Israeli aggression on Gaza, deliver humanitarian aid, and confront the humanitarian catastrophe caused by the occupation.Addressing the students, Safadi said: “You are the generation we rely on to continue the path of building and development in a homeland that deserves from all of us everything we have.” He explained that Jordan operates within a clear political vision, steadfast in its positions; its internal strength lies in its people, while its external strength lies in what Jordan represents as a voice for truth through its positive engagement with all and its adherence to principles in dealing with all issues.At the beginning of his speech, Safadi expressed his pride in being a graduate of the Department of English Language and Literature at Yarmouk University, noting that “Yarmouk” has never been merely a university, but rather a comprehensive experience that refined skills and provided tools to deal with subsequent experiences.During the lecture, moderated by the Head of the Department of Political and International Studies, Dr. Aref Bani Hamad, Safadi answered students’ questions regarding Jordan’s foreign policy, the role of Jordanian diplomacy in finding solutions to stop the war on Gaza, and Jordan’s role in protecting Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem.Alsharairi, for his part, expressed the University’s pride in hosting one of its graduates who today leads Jordanian diplomacy, affirming the University’s commitment, through its various faculties, to organizing such meetings and lectures aimed at linking theoretical academic concepts with practical application, thereby contributing to fulfilling its mission of education, scientific research, and community service.On the sidelines of his visit to the University, Safadi visited the Jordanian Heritage Museum and the Numismatic Hall at the Faculty of Archaeology and Anthropology.
