King Abdullah II of Jordan commenced his visit to Spain today with a working meeting with King Felipe VI at the Zarzuela Palace. During these discussions, both nations signed multiple bilateral agreements, strengthening their dialogue and cooperation. The Jordanian delegation also included Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ayman Safadi and Ambassador Raghad Al Saqqa.

Following the discussions with King Felipe VI, Abdullah II met with Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez at the Moncloa Palace. They reviewed the situation in Gaza amid ongoing Israeli attacks, with a focus on garnering support for the two-state solution. The leaders also discussed an upcoming United Nations International Conference aimed at finding a peaceful resolution to the Palestinian conflict, scheduled for mid-month in New York.

As part of their diplomatic efforts, Spain and Jordan announced a strategic partnership which will elevate their relationship to the highest level, encompassing political, economic, social, cultural, and defence ties. This partnership is built on the solid bonds of friendship between the two nations and reflects the trust between the Spanish Royal House and the Hashemite Royal Court.

King Felipe VI’s meeting with Abdullah II follows his earlier visit to Jordan last October, which aimed to support Jordan’s peace efforts in the region. The Spanish monarch reiterated the need for an end to violence and advocated for the two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, a stance now strongly supported by the Spanish Government.
