King Abdullah II of Jordan said that “the consequences of the Ukrainian crisis will not be limited to Europe, but will spread to the whole world.”

Abdullah II, in an interview with the economic channel CNBC, pointed out that “there is a challenge that began with the pandemic and is now exacerbated by this crisis in Ukraine, in addition to its impact on commodity prices.”

Regarding what he had previously raised about the need for a NATO-type alliance for the Middle East, the King of Jordan pointed out that “alliances are a complex issue if their nature and main tasks are not defined, and he emphasized the need to take into account other ties with countries world and come up with the appropriate formula of importance. The union is very clear, otherwise it will confuse everyone.”

He explained that “his country’s stocks of wheat and barley will last for 15 months, which ensures the Kingdom’s resilience and flexibility”, highlighting the need for “joint work among the countries of the region to form regional resilience groups to ensure that the long-term response to food security requirements is met.” “.
