Jordan's Majali in Bahrain

Jordan’s Prime Minister Majali, accompanied by a high-level delegation, arrived July 2 on a three-day official visit aimed at boosting trade ties between Jordan and Bahrain. Abdul Salam al-Majaili will deliver a message from King Hussien to Bahrain's ruler, Sheikh Isa, and also hold talks with his Bahraini counterpart on the Middle East peace process. While political issues remain at center-stage, means to expand Jordanian-Bahrain trade ties will figure high in the meeting, the newspaper reported. Majali, who is on his first visit to Bahrain as prime minister, is accompanied by several ministers and senior Jordanian officials.
