Polish Foreign Minister makes a gesture of solidarity in Jordan

On Monday, Polish Foreign Minister Witold Waszczykowski paid a visit to the Kingdom of Jordan "in a gesture of solidarity" with the country, which currently hosts about 1.26 million refugees from Syria. "Jordan has taken on an enormous burden, offering shelter to people fleeing war-torn territories. The Kingdom has showed that it is a responsible and reliable member of the international community. It is our duty to support the Jordanian leadership and society in pursuing this noble cause," the minister said after the visit. Waszczykowski’s trip is first and foremost a gesture of solidarity with the Jordanian authorities and the kingdom’s citizens, who host refugees from countries such as Syria and Iraq, proclaimed Rafał Sobczak, ministry spokesperson. The Polish Foreign Minister met with his counterpart Nasser Judeh and held talks on bilateral collaboration, security in the Middle East including shoring up Jordan’s efforts to provide humanitarian aid to the country’s large refugee population.
