Safadi and Pedersen stressed the importance of
concerted efforts to achieve progress on the path to reach a political solution
to the Syrian crisis and address its repercussions.
Safadi said the Kingdom continues to work with
the UN, international, and regional partners to push a political solution to
end Syria crisis, preserve its unity, restore its security and stability, and
create the necessary conditions for the voluntary and safe return of Syrian
refugees.
This joint endeavor also aims to remove
terrorism from Syria and address the consequences of the humanitarian,
security, and political crisis and restore Damascus's role in the region,
according to Safadi.
Safadi valued the UN efforts in this regard,
stressing the importance of its role in efforts to end the crisis.
Safadi also briefed the UN envoy on the
challenges facing the Kingdom as a result of the continuing Syrian crisis and
the increasing refuge burdens.
Pointing to the increasing dangers of drug
smuggling from Syrian territory into Jordan, Safadi indicated that the Kingdom
will take all necessary measures to eliminate this danger and protect its
security and national interests.
Safadi warned of the difficult repercussions of
the drop in international support for Syrian refugees and the refugee-hosting
countries and communities, adding that providing a decent living for refugees
is a shared responsibility of the host countries and the international
community.
Pedersen, for his part, updated Safadi on his
efforts and recent meetings aimed to reach a political solution to the Syrian
crisis.
Stressing the importance of continuous Jordan-UN
cooperation in this field, Pedersen lauded the Kingdom's "remarkable"
humanitarian role in hosting Syrian refugees and providing them with a decent
life.
