On 7 March 2010, NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen paid an official visit to Jordan in the framework of the Mediterranean Dialogue. This was the Secretary General’s first visit to a Mediterranean Dialogue partner country.
During the visit, the Secretary General held bilateral talks with His Majesty King Abdullah II, Prime Minister and Defence Minister Samir Rifai, Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh and Chief of Defence Staff General Mishaal Mohammad Al Zaben.
Mr. Rasmussen also delivered a speech jointly organised by the Jordanian Institute of Diplomacy and the NATO Public Diplomacy Division on 7 March 2010, at the Hotel Le Royal in Amman.
Praising Jordan’s role on the international scene, the Secretary General said: “ Jordan’s tireless efforts to promote peace and stability, not only here in this region but also far beyond, have earned it tremendous international respect and admiration. And I also want to strongly commend His Majesty King Abdullah, the Jordanian Government and the Jordanian Armed Forces for that continuing, very robust commitment.”
Mr. Rasmussen also remarked: “I am particularly pleased that my speech, today, is here in Amman. Because it is in this very city that King Abdullah, through his “Ammanmessage” of November 2004, called for tolerance, dialogue and inter-cultural and inter-religious understanding. The King called for a wide platform upon which peoples of different faiths can meet together, with respect for other’s ideas and faiths, and act in common in the service of human society.”
