Jordanian Foreign Minister Farouq Al Qasrawi here Wednesday attached great importance to the implementation of roadmap plan on Middle East peace.

   Qasrawi made the remarks when he met with a parliamentary delegation of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), reported Jordan's official Petra News Agency. 

   During the meeting, Qasrawi briefed the visiting delegation on Jordan's position regarding issues in the region particularly the situation in the Middle East peace process. 

   He underlined the necessity to fully implement the roadmap plan and called on Israel to fulfil the peace deal it signed with the Palestinians at their summit meeting in Egypt's Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.

   The minister, meanwhile, affirmed Jordan's readiness to offer possible help to succeed the ongoing political process in the region. 

   Earlier in the day, Jordanian Senate Speaker Zeid Rifai also met with the NATO delegation and called for international efforts to push the Middle East peace process forward on all tracks to achieve regional peace and stability.

   Rifai highlighted the essential role which the NATO and the European Union play in supporting peace in the Middle East.

   The NATO delegation arrived here earlier in the day to hold their session at the Jordanian shores of Dead Sea, which is scheduled to open on Thursday.

   It was reported that NATO will hold meetings at its headquarters in Brussels with Mediterranean countries next week at the level of high-ranking officials. 

   Harald Kujat, chairman of NATO Military Committee has asserted that the talks with the seven Mediterranean states including Israel, Algeria, Mauritania, Jordan, Morocco and Tunisia, could help the alliance play a key role in helping implement a peace settlement in the Middle East.
