AMMAN — Jordan is grateful for Japan’s support and aid, which help implement a number of development and service projects, Prime Minister Abdullah Ensour told a Japanese parliamentary delegation on Monday.

Ensour said refugees add further pressure on Jordan’s limited resources, stressing that guarding the shared border with Syria is extremely costly.

Highlighting developments in the Middle East peace process, the premier said Japan, as a neutral country with a strong international presence, can help bring the peace talks to a fruitful conclusion and reach a just solution to the Palestinian issue.

The Japanese lawmakers commended Jordan’s hosting of Syrian refugees, thanking the Kingdom for its support when Japan was affected by a devastating earthquake.

Also Monday, Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh met with the Japanese delegates and discussed the latest regional developments and ways to enhance bilateral ties.
