Ensour urges Hungary to contribute to Mideast peace efforts

AMMAN — Prime Minister Abdullah Ensour on Thursday met with László Kövér, the speaker of the National Assembly of Hungary, and an accompanying delegation to discuss boosting cooperation in trade, energy, education and aviation.

Ensour called on the Hungarian government to contribute — through its EU membership — to finding solutions to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in accordance with international laws.

He stressed that the conflict is the main reason behind unrest in the region.

Kövér said Hungary understands the difficulties facing Jordan and that it sees the Kingdom as a strategic partner, adding that Budapest has decided to offer an additional 50 university scholarships for Jordanian students.
