AMMAN — His Majesty King Abdullah on Sunday met with Bahrain's Crown Prince Salman Bin Hamad Bin Isa Al Khalifa, who is chairing his country's delegation to the 21st session of the UN Climate Change Conference in Paris, France.

At the meeting in Paris, the King and Prince Salman, who is also the deputy supreme commander of the Bahrain Defence Force, discussed the latest regional developments, mainly those related to the crisis in Syria and the war on terrorism, according to a Royal Court statement.

They also reviewed Jordanian-Bahraini relations, according to the statement.

King Abdullah arrived in Paris earlier on Sunday to participate in the 2015 UN Climate Change Conference.

His Majesty is scheduled to deliver Jordan’s speech at the conference and meet several international leaders, according to the statement.

HRH Prince Feisal was sworn in as Regent in the King’s absence.

The conference, held with the participation of 147 leaders and country representatives, aims at reaching a “binding and ambitious” agreement for all countries to combat climate change, in addition to outlining national contributions to deal with this challenge according to each country’s capability.

Paris is hosting the conference between November 30 and December 11.

Participants are scheduled to discuss several developments related to climate change.

The Kingdom was among the first countries to ratify the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in 1993, the statement added.

Jordanian institutions exerted “major efforts” to build national capacities to document greenhouse gas emissions and launch the first national policy to deal with climate change in cooperation with the UNDP.
