During the summit — co-chaired by French President
Emmanuel Macron and New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, and attended by
several heads of state and government, and representatives of global ICT
companies — King Abdullah reiterated Jordan’s commitment to the partnership
with the Christchurch Call summit through the Aqaba Process initiative, to
counter terrorism and extremist ideologies.
His Majesty highlighted the importance of
coordination among all stakeholders to unify efforts to confront extremists’
attempts to exploit social media to promote their radical ideologies and spread
hate speech.
The King noted that the fight against extremism also
requires working on resolving conflicts that extremists exploit to win over
recruits, especially the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, reaffirming the
two-state solution as the only way to end the conflict.
Tuesday’s summit was the third held under the
Christchurch Call to Action; the second one was held via teleconference in May
2021.
The first summit was held in Paris in 2019, through
an initiative by Macron and Ardern, following the terrorist attack on two
mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, that year.
Jordan hosted a number of follow-up meetings on the
Christchurch Call, under the umbrella of the Aqaba Process, which was launched
by His Majesty in 2015 to enhance security and military coordination and
cooperation.
Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister
Ayman Safadi, and
Director of the Office of His Majesty Jafar Hassan attended Tuesday’s summit.
