Russian President Vladimir Putin has backed the initiative of Abdallah II, the King of Jordan, to establish a bilateral intergovernmental commission. Opening the Russian-Jordanian negotiations in the extended format in the Kremlin, the Russian President called the establishment of such a commission "the first step" to be taken in the administrative sphere. The Russian leader added that as a result of the last meeting between the Jordanian King and himself which took place this August, a positive impetus was given to both business circles and the governments of the two states.
