“Jordan welcomes 1.3 million Syrian refugees, and we did everything possible to live their decent living. In Jordan, only 10% of refugees in the camps live, and our schools were open to all Syrians because they are open to our citizens, and more than 150,000 Syrian children are recorded in our public schools, that is to say 11% of total students, refugees have the same medical care as we provide to the Jordanians, gave them work permits and we have shared our limited resources.
Al -Safadi said that the solution of the refugee problem is their voluntary return to their country of origin, “but until the conditions become appropriate for this return, their needs must be met and that the host countries cannot bear the burden alone.”
Al -Safadi said that Jordan could not have dealt with refugees without international support, but he warned the consequences of the decline of international support for refugees and organizations that sponsor them, and stressed the need for the conference to devote the funding necessary to ensure that host countries continue to carry out their humanitarian responsibility for refugees.
Al -Safadi said: “The responsibility that the new Syrian government has is great, but its possibility of responding to the right of the Syrian people to a safe homeland is unified, without terrorism and guarantees the rights of all Syrians after all the pain and sufferings they have also endured.”

Al -Safadi underlined the need to respect the unity of Syria, its regional security and its sovereignty. He underlined the need for Israel to immediately withdraw from the Syrian lands he occupied and stop interfere in Syrian affairs, stressing that what Israel is doing is illegal and represents a threat to stability.
Al -Safadi said that the Syrian government had confirmed its commitment to the agreement to decipher the confrontation between Syria and Israel in 1974, and Israel must adhere to this agreement and respect international law, otherwise it will again sow the seeds of conflict and chaos in the region.
Al -Safadi said: “Syria’s stability is a pillar of the region’s stability. The new Syrian government is responsible for responding to the rights and aspirations of the Syrian people, and we are collectively responsible for helping them achieve it.”
Safadi thanked the European Union for organizing the Brussels conference, which represents a constant and effective European commitment to support the Syrian people, showing a contribution to the satisfaction of the needs of millions of Syrian refugees over the years of the crisis.
Al -Safadi said that the holding of the ninth Brussels conference “confirms that this commitment continues”, and with the beginning of the Syrian people to rebuild their homeland and their life, Europe will again play a leadership role to help them.
