During his latest visit to the UK, His Majesty King Abdullah II met with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown on 22 June 2009.   During their meeting, His Majesty urged a clear action plan to launch serious negotiations to resolve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict based on the “internationally accepted” two-state formula.

His Majesty also highlighted the significance of the UK's role in supporting efforts to kick-start negotiations and working to intensify international efforts to resolve the conflict in the region.

Talks also focused on means to boost bilateral ties, with both leaders showing their keenness to foster co-operation in all fields, especially in the field of alternative energy.
The two sides signed a 30-year agreement on co-operation in developing nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.  The Monarch highlighted the UK’s role in supporting alternative energy projects Jordan is working to launch.

Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh, who signed the nuclear agreement with his British counterpart David Miliband, highlighted projects in the pipeline to generate electricity and desalinate seawater. The agreement also covers cooperation to conduct research on means to apply nuclear power in the agricultural, industrial and medical sectors in addition to nuclear security.
Miliband praised the “transparency” of Jordan’s nuclear energy programme, calling it “a model for countries considering developing their own civil nuclear programmes”.
