"Jordan's commitment to the future is secure. It has driven our long work for regional peace. .. and with the help of the United States, succeed in peace, "said the Jordanian monarch, who held talks this week in Washington with us officials.
Abdullah II do not give any reasons for his optimism.
His remarks come a day after the isrælske prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu told us President Barack Obama in the Oval Office against chasing what he called a Middle East peace "based on illusions.
Netanyahu promised explicitly Israel would never return to the 1967 borders and laid down a number of non-negotiable conditions for peace talks--one day after Obama urged Israel to accept a return to territorial lines in place before the 1967 Arab-isrælske war, with the mutual land swaps with the Palestinians to frame a secure peace.
The Jordanian monarch invited in the meantime, U.S. businesses to invest in his country.
"Our same faith in the future is driving our determination to open the doors to enterprise and opportunity," he said.
' But we can't do it alone. We need partners to build prosperity that lasts--in my country and in my region, "he said stressing the region offered 350 million consumers and enormous potential.
