The minister praised Jordan's role in providing for refugees, while also warning that without this, millions of people would be pouring into Europe.
Therefore, we believe that Jordan deserves every support from Europe,
he said, announcing that during the forthcoming Hungarian EU Presidency, the government intends to convene a meeting of the EU-Jordan Association Council to discuss further assistance. In this context, he underlined that help should be brought to where the problems are and not imported. Within the framework of this strategy, the Hungarian government has provided four million dollars in refugee assistance to Jordan over the past five years and the Hungary Helps program will be opening a representative office in Amman to improve the effectiveness of its work, he said.
He also reported that several agreements were signed during the visit, one of which will allow for four hundred Jordanian students to continue studying at Hungarian universities every year. In addition, a joint training program for young diplomats will be launched, cooperation in the field of environmental protection will be strengthened and youth cooperation will be started.
