President Sergio Mattarella on Monday welcomed Jordan's King Abdullah to the Quirinale presidential palace in Rome, telling him that Italy supports his country's mediation efforts in the region.
"It is always an honour for Italy to have you in Rome and it is an honour and a pleasure for me to welcome you at the Quirinale.
"Your presence at this time of particular difficulty, here in Rome, is for us very important, being able to exchange opinions, being able to analyse together the complicated situation in which our common neighbourhood moves", noted Mattarella.
The head of State highlighted the importance of keeping in close coordination with Jordan "because your country is undertaking an exemplary work of coordination, mediation and connection of the region and we are close and support the actions which Jordan is carrying out with much importance".
Mattarella also congratulated the King for the birth last month of his granddaughter Amina, daughter of Princess Iman.
The King became a first-time grandfather when Crown Prince Hussein and his wife, Princess Rajwa, welcomed their first baby, daughter Iman, in August 2024.
