PMINDIA

Your Majesty,

On behalf of 140 crore Indians, I sincerely thank you for the warm welcome extended to me and my delegation. You have put forward very positive ideas to take the relations between Bharat and Jordan to a new level. I express my heartfelt gratitude to you for your friendship and your deep commitment to Bharat.

This year, we are celebrating the 75th anniversary of our political relations. This milestone will continue to inspire us to move forward with renewed energy for many years to come. I am fully confident that today’s meeting will give a new momentum and depth to our relationship. We will further enhance cooperation in areas such as trade, fertilizers, digital technology, infrastructure, and people-to-people ties.

Your Majesty,

We have remained in close contact at the global level as well. From the very beginning, you have played a very active and positive role on Gaza. We all hope that peace and stability will prevail in this region. We share a clear and united stance against terrorism. Under your leadership, Jordan has conveyed a strong and strategic message to all of humanity against terrorism, extremism, and radicalization. During the restricted session, we discussed further strengthening cooperation in this important area. We participated in a conference on Islamic heritage during your visit to Bharat in 2018. I also recall that our first meeting in 2015 took place on the sidelines of the United Nations at an event focused on countering violent extremism. Even then, you delivered inspirational remarks on this subject. Your efforts to promote moderation are extremely important not only for regional peace but also for global peace. We will continue to move forward together in this direction in a concrete manner. We will further strengthen all other dimensions of our mutual cooperation. Once again, I sincerely thank you and the people of Jordan for your gracious hospitality.
