Jordan on Thursday reiterated its support for Sudan's efforts to realize national reconciliation, noting the kingdom's stance on the International Criminal Court (ICC)-Khartoum dispute is in line with the Arab League (AL), local daily Jordan Times reported on Friday.
Royal Court chief Bassem Awadallah said Jordan is keen on Sudan's security, sovereignty and stability, and backs the country's national reconciliation process.
He stressed that Jordan's stand on the ICC indictment crisis comes in line with that of AL, which was put forward at a recent AL foreign ministers' meeting in Cairo.
His remarks came as a response to a letter reaching Jordan's king Abdullah II from Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir, which was delivered by the president's adviser and special envoy Ghazi Salaheddin, the report said.
In the letter, Bashir outlined the latest developments in Darfur and the standoff between Khartoum and the ICC, whose prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo sought an arrest warrant of the president on charges of alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in the western Sudanese region of Darfur.
Meanwhile, Jordan's Lower House Speaker Abdul Hadi Majali also expressed objection against the charges when meeting with visiting Salaheddin, claiming that the lawmakers are convinced the charges are of a "political nature that serves the interest of some countries."
