ABU DHABI, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News / WAM - 23rd Feb, 2019) The UAE and Jordan have agreed to increase their joint consultation and coordination and exchange views regarding issues of common interest and adopt a unified Arab stance that places Arab interests at top priority and defend and support them in international parliamentary meetings.

A Memorandum of Understanding, MoU, in this respect was signed by Dr. Amal Abdullah Al Qubaisi, Speaker of Federal National Council, FNC, and Atef Tarawneh, Speaker of Jordan's House of Representatives, during talks in Abu Dhabi.
