The main topics of the meeting were the situation of refugees in Jordan and a comparison of the political systems in both countries. In addition, migration and integration policy in Offenbach and local political decision-making processes were discussed. Opportunities for increased cooperation between Offenbach and Jordanian cities were also discussed during the visit.

This visit was an important step in our international relations. The exchange at municipal level contributed to mutual understanding and opened up new perspectives for both sides.
