In which one talks about Qatar, Their Majestys have been in this Emirate in visit of State in November of 1980 and in official visit in October of 2003. Jordan has lived several changes of last Government --el after the attack of Amán of the 9 on November, that left --, dead and fears to see themselves affected reason why it happens to the other side of his borders, in the Palestinian Iraq and territories.

In this sense, during the real visit the ministers of Outer Subjects of both countries, Miguel Angel Moratinos and Abdulá Jatib, will sign a declaration -- that will possibly baptize ' Declaration of Amán ' - - emphasizing the coincidences between the Message of Amán sent for a year by the hachemí monarch and the Alliance of Civilizations.

INTERVIEW: ABDALÁ II OF JORDAN


....
P. Today is going to receive the Kings of Spain. The relations are very good as much between the two Real Houses like between both countries. How can Spain contribute more to Jordan and the region?

R. Spain always it has had a vital paper like part of the European Union. It has wonderful relations with all the countries of Near East, and historically very it is respected. Respect is not only [ ] politician, also has much to do with its economic solidity. We know Spain through many its products and their industry. Their Majesty time and time again, in my limited experience of last the six or seven last years years, whenever there has been a problem, is after 11-S or in the peace process, always she has contributed a moderation voice to try to smooth the intentions across, like when she was spoken of shock of civilizations, and you know that there is no such thing. His Majesty is one of those people of character who leave the common thing and try to combine people. When Jordan suffered the terrible loss of Husein His Majesty the King, the first visit of State that I did went not by chance to Spain and. I suppose that [ King Juan Carlos ] wanted to help in the transition and to help me to know people. He has always tended the hand to my country and many of the Arab countries. As result the relation of Its Majesty with the Arab World is very deep, like the Spanish policy throughout many years.
