 "'Strategic message to humanity': PM Modi hails Jordan's fight against terrorism")
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has hailed Jordan’s leadership for its fight against terrorism, extremism, and radicalisation, a vision it shares with India, as he began his three-nation visit on Monday.
“Our first meetings were at global platforms focused on fighting violent extremism. Even then, Your Majesty spoke with clarity and conviction. Under your leadership, Jordan has consistently conveyed a powerful message against terrorism, extremism and radicalisation," PM Modi said.
The Indian prime minister held delegation-level talks with King Abdullah II bin Al Hussein in Amman, where he said India and Jordan share a “common and clear position" against terrorism. PM Modi also recalled his earliest interactions with King Abdullah II, which were also centred around terrorism.
“I recall that our first meeting also took place on the sidelines of the UN in 2015, at an event focused on countering violent extremism. Even then, you delivered inspirational remarks on this subject,” he said.

PM Modi, who arrived in Jordan on a two-day visit at the invitation of Abdullah II, was warmly welcomed by the king at the Husseiniya Palace, where they held a one-on-one meeting before the delegation-level talks.
The two sides agreed to further deepen their partnership, especially in the fields of trade and investment, defence and security, counter-terrorism and de-radicalisation, fertiliser and agriculture, renewable energy, and tourism.
On his part, King Abdullah II said all Jordanians welcome you back to Jordan.
“Your presence here carries deep significance as our countries mark 75 years of diplomatic relations. I believe this visit reflects decades of friendship, mutual respect and productive cooperation between our two nations,” he said.
“Our nations enjoy a strong partnership, and they share a desire to advance prosperity for our people. Over the years, our collaboration has expanded across multiple sectors. Your visit provides an important opportunity to chart new paths of economic cooperation,” King Abdullah II said.
The two sides inked MoUs in the fields of culture, renewable energy, water management, digital public infrastructure and twinning arrangement between Petra and Ellora, aimed at giving a major boost to India-Jordan bilateral ties and friendship.
