Jordan ‘astonished’ at Dutch ambassador’s claims of declining media freedom

LONDON, 22 October 2022, (TON): Jordan’s government has said it is astonished after the Dutch ambassador in Amman commented on declining media freedom in the country.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates criticized Harry Verweij for weighing in on domestic affairs during a meeting with the minister of information.
Verweij posted a picture on Twitter where he sat with Minister of Media Affairs Faisal Al-Shboul, saying that he had raised concerns about Jordan’s declining international ranking on freedom of speech.
The comment, which also touched upon long-standing friendship between the two countries, prompted an immediate response from the Jordanian ministry.
