The initiative of Jordan and Cyprus for the establishment of a regional forest firefighting centre based in Cyprus was mentioned this afternoon by the Government Spokesman Mr. Konstantinos Letibiotis in his remarks on the meeting between President Nicos Christodoulides and King Abdullah II of Jordan.
In his remarks, the Spokesman said: "Today's talks between the President of the Republic and the King of Jordan, in the context of President Christodoulides' visit to Amman, were held in a very friendly atmosphere and were considered to be very constructive.
The already excellent bilateral relations between our countries are expanding in areas of common interest, such as Tourism, Investment, Defence Cooperation, Renewable Energy, as well as Migration, where both countries face serious challenges.
We consider of particular importance the joint initiative for the establishment of a regional forest firefighting centre based in Cyprus.
The establishment of such a centre will further highlight the regional role of Cyprus and will further strengthen the already close relations between our country and Jordan and other countries in the region.
Related to this initiative is one of the three Memoranda of Understanding signed today in the context of the President's visit.
Also, in the context of strengthening and further upgrading regional issues of common interest, the planning of the next trilateral summit between Cyprus, Greece and Jordan later this year was discussed.
On the issue of migration, the President of the Republic and the King of Jordan referred to the challenges faced by the two countries.
President Christodoulides underlined that Cyprus as an EU Member State will continue to promote further EU support to Jordan in order to mitigate the huge problems arising from the large migratory flows.
