Your Majesty, we've had extremely productive talks, and I think we've made significant progress toward peace. We have initiated a dialog from which we should not consider turning back.
Much work remains to be done, and the road ahead is tough.
But it's the right road, and I remain optimistic that direct negotiations for a just resolution of the Palestinian problem in the context of a real and enduring peace is within our reach. Your visit has served as a reminder that the bonds of friendship that link Jordan and the United States are as strong as ever. Your Majesty, I wish you a safe trip and look forward to our next meeting. Mr. President, I thank you once again, sir, for the privilege and pleasure I've had, together with my party from Jordan, of meeting you, sir, and being with our friends at this very important, historical point in time in terms of our common hopes, in terms of the future of the area I come from, and the future of generations to come. To the skeptics, I would like to say that it has been, in my view, a very successful visit.
