AMMAN, Jan. 13 (Xinhua) -- Jordanian Minister of Foreign Affairs Ayman Safadi said on Sunday that France and Jordan agreed that the lack of a solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict threatens the security of Middle East.
At a joint press conference with his French counterpart Jean-Yves Le Drian in Amman, Safadi said the two countries believe that lack of a solution could lead to eruption of crises in the region, said a statement by the Jordanian Foreign Ministry.
"We will work together with the international community to create the necessary political environment to move forward towards a two-state solution (to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict)," Safadi said.
The Jordanian top diplomat said that Jordan highly values France's support to the two-state solution, adding that France plays a pivotal role in supporting the Palestinians.
The bilateral discussions also covered the Syrian crisis and the need for coordinating efforts to reach a political solution in the country.
"Our priority is to end the crisis," Safadi said, adding that Jordan will continue to coordinate with France, Russia and the U.S. to achieve a political solution as soon as possible.
On the same day, King Abdullah II of Jordan also met with the French official to discuss ties and regional developments.
