AT A MEETING with King Abdullah II of Jordan in Moscow on February 19, 2013 Russian President V.V. Putin handed the monarch a yellowed copy of the newspaper Pravda of August 21, 1963. It carried a report on the establishment that day of diplomatic relations between the USSR and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. The reaction of the king was lively and interested. He said that when he took the paper he touched, as it were, remote past. After all, his late father, King Hussein, had put forward the initiative to normalize relations with Moscow. In Abdullah IPs opinion, which was shared by V.V. Putin, the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations is a significant landmark in Russian-Jordanian collaboration.
