AMMAN, Feb. 15 (Xinhuanet) -- Irish President Mary Mcaleese reiterated here Wednesday that the roadmap plan drawn up by the Quartet of Middle East peace mediators remains the only framework for solving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and realizing their peaceful coexistence.
Mcaleese told the Jordanian parliament that the Palestinians, Israel, Syria and Lebanon deserve peace after a long period of conflicts and that her country will continue support for Palestinian and Israeli leaders to seek peace in the region.
She also expressed appreciation for Jordan's positive role in helping Israel and the Palestinians to achieve peaceful coexistence.
The roadmap drawn up by the United Nations, the United States, Russia and the European Union (EU) envisions a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict -- an independent Palestinian state living side by side with a secure Israel.
On the Iraq Issue, the Irish leader said her government and other EU countries will share the obligations of the Iraqi people in their national reconstruction. She also pledged joint efforts with Jordan and other partners to realize peace, stability and prosperity in the region.
Mcaleese arrived in Amman on Monday for a two-day official visit at the invitation of Jordanian King Abdullah II. It is the first time for the Irish president to visit Jordan. Enditem
