Schulz said that the king had &#8220;sent a strong signal to the Middle East&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>King Abdullah\u00a0also touched upon the issue of migration. Following conflicts in the Middle East, and especially in Syria, Jordan has the\u00a0third largest amount \u00a0of\u00a0refugees in the world, about 1.4 million. While thanking Europe for its support, he said that the number\u00a0of refugees in Jordan is &#8220;like France hosting the whole population of Belgium&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The EU has pledged financial aid to Jordan for\u00a0dealing with Syrian refugees. In December, the European Commission came up with\u00a0a package worth \u20ac180 million to deal with the effects of the Syrian crisis in the country itself, as well as in neighbouring Lebanon and Jordan.<\/p>\n<p>As well as addressing MEPs, King Abdullah will meet Federica Mogherini, the EU&#8217;s foreign policy chief, in Strasbourg to discuss the EU&#8217;s ties with Jordan and the fight against terrorism.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<footer class=\"content-credits\">\n<h6>Authors:<\/h6>\n<dl class=\"vcard\">\n<dt class=\"credits-author\"><span class=\"vcard\">Cynthia Kroet<\/span>&nbsp;<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/footer>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>King of Jordan urges EU to tackle Islamophobia King Abdullah tells MEPs that the EU is an important partner in the fight against terrorism.
