(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency) Senate President Abdul Raouf Rawabdeh on Monday discussed with the president of Kazakhstan's Senate, Kasim Zhomart Tokaev, ways of forging closer parliamentary ties between the two countries.
During the meeting, Rawabdeh also reviewed with Tokaev the current situation in the region, noting the burden being shouldered by Jordan as a result of hosting an increasing number of Syrian refugees in addition to its efforts to combat extremism and spread the values of moderation and tolerance to promote peace and stability in the Middle East and the world.
