South Korea’s president Park Geun Hye holds a summit talk with Jordan’s King Abduallah II to discuss means available to strengthen the relations between two countries.

During the summit talks, President Park and King Abduallah will discuss possible cooperation in trade, investments, construction, energy, culture, education and development.

It’s expected that both leaders will share their opinion on the current situation in the Middle East and how to take part in current international issues, like fighting terrorism and providing humanitarian support, as well as cooperating in issues related to Korea.

The presidential office explained that Jordan is a vital country on both geographic and political levels as it represents the interest of the Middle East being a non-permanent member in UN Security Council 2014-2015. It’s also an important partner to Korea.

This is King Abduallah II fifth visit to South Korea since his rule in 1999.
