AMMAN, Jordan - The Bulgarian prime minister on Wednesday met with his Jordanian counterpart over the Mideast crisis and bilateral relations, the official Petra news agency reported.

Simon Saxcoburggotski and Ali Abul-Ragheb stressed the necessity to end the cycle of violence threatening the region, Petra said. The two men said the Israeli occupation of Palestinian towns and villages jeopardized diplomatic efforts to push the peace process forward.

Arriving from Lebanon, Saxcoburggotski was accompanied by an economic delegation in talks to increase the volume of trade between the two countries.

The two sides signed a bilateral agreement to promote and protect each other's investments.

According to Petra, during the last ten years, the volume of trade between Jordan and Bulgaria had varied but reached its peak in 1992 with dlrs 44 million.

Jordan imports from Bulgaria livestock, equipment, machinery, chemical and nitrogenous fertilizers, food products and iron. Bulgaria imports phosphate, salt, medical equipment, spare automobile parts and refrigerators.
