AMMAN, (ST)- Syrian People’s Assembly (PA) Speaker Hammouda al-Sabbagh on Saturday arrived in the Jordanian capital, Amman, to take part in the 29^th Conference of the Arab Parliamentary Union (AIPU) scheduled to be held between March 3^rd and 4^th.

Al-Sabbagh was welcomed in Amman by his Jordanian counterpart Atef al-Tarawneh.

Al-Sabbagh had earlier received an invitation for al-Tarwaneh to take part in the 29^th AIPU conference titled “al-Quds, is the Eternal Capital of the State of Palestine”.

“Syria’s invitation to attend the conference is an initiative by the Arab Inter-Parliamentary Union and the Jordanian Parliament and is a positive bid to break the isolation some parties have tried to impose on Syria,” Tareq Khouri, member of the Jordanian Parliament said during a Jordanian parliamentary delegation visit to Syria on February 12^th.
