The Jordanian-Mexican Parliamentary Friendship Association met with Mexican Ambassador in Amman Roberto Rodriguez Hernandez on Monday for talks on bilateral relations in economic, political, cultural, and tourism fields, as well as regional developments.
During the discussion, Head of the Association MP Haitham Ziyadin stressed the importance of the Hashemite Custodianship over the Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem, and highlighted His Majesty King Abdullah’s support of the Palestinian cause.

He called for increasing the trade volume, promoting investment and leveraging the positive relations between Jordan and Mexico.
He pointed to Jordan’s attractive investment environment due to its geographical location and security and stability, that can be capitalized on.
Hernandez described Jordan as a gateway to the Middle East, noting the Kingdom’s safety and stability and stressing the need to promote Mexico as a bridge for trade between Jordan and the Americas.
On the Palestinian issue, the ambassador stated that Mexico advocates for peaceful coexistence under the two-state solution and commended the Hashemite Custodianship over the holy sites in Jerusalem.
He also called for increasing cooperation between the two countries in the fields of tourism and education, and called for introducing Arabic courses in Mexican universities and Spanish courses in Jordan.
