在议会大厦举行的一次领导人会晤中，澳大利亚和约旦同意加强防务关系，并致力于实现中东和平。约旦国王阿卜杜拉二世会见了澳大利亚总理安东尼·阿尔巴尼斯，重申了10年前国王上次访问澳大利亚时签署的一项联合声明。阿尔巴尼斯先生周三表示：“各国为了国际安全利益而共同努力，这从未像现在这样重要。”两国同意在国防、安全和资源方面进一步合作，总理强调了双方引以为傲的合作历史。
Australia and Jordan have agreed to strengthen defence ties and work towards peace in the Middle East during a leader's meeting at Parliament House. King Abdullah II of Jordan has met with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to reaffirm a joint declaration signed 10 years ago during the monarch's last visit to Australia. "It's never been more important for countries to work together in the interests of international security," Mr Albanese said on Wednesday. The two nations have agreed to further co-operation on defence, security and resources, with the prime minister highlighting a proud history of collaboration.
他重申了对胡塞武装近期在沙特阿拉伯发动袭击以及该地区冲突中悲剧性生命损失的谴责，同时认可了约旦在这些领域所做的倡导工作。
He echoed condemnation of recent attacks by the Houthis in Saudi Arabia and the tragic loss of life in conflicts across the region, while acknowledging the advocacy of Jordan in these arenas.
“您在该地区发挥着如此重要的作用，我也想对您的个人领导力表示钦佩，”阿尔巴尼斯先生说道，并指出约旦在呼吁这个动荡地区实现和平时所面临的复杂局面。阿卜杜拉二世国王表达了对和平的渴望，并表示他对与澳大利亚的合作深感自豪。他说：“特别是在……我们全球所面临的挑战中，但我认为特别是在我们这一地区。在军事和情报方面，我们拥有令人惊叹的关系，这种关系只会变得更加牢固。”
"You play such an important role in the region, and your personal leadership is also something that I want to express my admiration for," Mr Albanese said, noting the complexity facing Jordan as it calls for peace in a turbulent part of the world. King Abdullah II echoed a desire for peace and said he was deeply proud of the collaboration with Australia. "Especially ... the challenges that we're having globally, but specifically, I think in our part of the world," he said. "Military and intelligence, we have an amazing relationship that can only get stronger."
两位领导人都重申了对巴勒斯坦和以色列未来“两国方案”的承诺，谴责任何吞并西岸或驱逐巴勒斯坦人民的企图。这位约旦君主向总理发出了非正式邀请，希望他能尽快访问，并暗示需要更多面对面的工作来实现局势降温。自2017年以来，堪培拉已向约旦提供了1.3亿澳元的人道主义资金，以帮助其缓解叙利亚内战带来的影响，这场内战使该王国成为了数十万难民的避风港。
Both leaders reaffirmed their commitment to a two-state solution for the future of Palestine and Israel, condemning any attempts to annex the West Bank or displace the Palestinian people. The Jordanian monarch extended an informal invitation to the prime minister to visit soon, suggesting more will need to be done in person to deliver de-escalation. Canberra has provided Jordan $130 million in humanitarian funding since 2017 to help cushion it against the Syrian Civil War, which made the kingdom a haven for hundreds of thousands of refugees.
尽管约旦西邻以色列与巴勒斯坦的冲突地区，北接叙利亚，东临伊拉克，但它已被证明是中东最稳定、最和平的国家之一，也是一个可靠的防务伙伴。阿卜杜拉国王一直是反对以色列在加沙侵犯人权行为的坚定倡导者，并于9月在纽约举行的联合国大会上发表了讲话。
Despite being near the conflict between Israel and Palestine to its west, Syria to its north and Iraq to its east, Jordan has proven one of the Middle East's most stable, peaceful countries and a dependable defence partner. King Abdullah has been a strong advocate against Israeli human rights violations in Gaza speaking at the UN General Assembly in New York in September.
