Italy and Jordan FMs comment after talks in Amman

Italian Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio on Sunday reiterated Italy's support for a "right and sustainable" two-state soluation, referring to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Di Maio spoke at a press conference alongside his Jordanian counterpart Ayman al-Safadi following talks in Amman.

He welcomed developments made with the so-called Abraham Accords, which have normalised ties between Israel and several Arab countries, but said they must "accompany but not replace" the Middle East peace process.

Di Maio said he and al-Safadi had discussed the current situations in Iraq and Syria, adding Jordan could play a "primary role" in supporting the recovery of its two neighbours.

The pair also spoke on the need to "protect" the ongoing negotations in Libya.

Al-Safadi said Italy would provide 235 million euros (287 million US dollars) of financial support to help Jordan in expanding its investments in energy infrastructure, transport and telecommunications.
