PH Ambassador to Jordan Leads ASEAN Courtesy Call in Foreign Ministry

The courtesy call on Director Twal, who is the former Ambassador of Jordan to Brazil and a seasoned national politician, covered areas of his previous engagements with individual ASEAN Member States, including parallel dimensions between the ASEAN and the Arab League.

Director Twal concurred with the ASEAN Ambassadors that there remain many opportunities for gainful cooperation between the Arab League and ASEAN, as well between Jordan and individual Member States, such as the Aqaba Process Meeting (APM) which will be hosted by the Philippines later this year, the first ever APM in Southeast Asia.

Ambassador Sakkam also presented Director Twal the ASEAN coffee table book. (Amman PE photo)
