Panel Discussion with H.E. Ayman Safadi & Gudrun Harrer
Wednesday, September 2, 2026 | 6:30 PM
📍 Bruno Kreisky Forum, Vienna | Language: English
On the occasion of the official visit to Austria by H.E. Ayman Safadi, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, join us for a timely discussion on the current developments in the Middle East, prospects for peace, and the future of the region.
Jordan has long been a central actor in regional affairs, working tirelessly to foster stability and political dialogue. Amid the war in Gaza, rising tensions with Iran, and an increasingly volatile regional landscape, Jordan continues to pursue diplomatic initiatives to reduce tensions and facilitate dialogue among all parties.
💬 Key Questions:
✔ How can sustainable peace and stability be achieved in the Middle East?
✔ What forms of international cooperation are required to support these efforts?
✔ Is a comprehensive security architecture (like the OSCE) possible for the Middle East?
✔ What are Jordan’s expectations from Europe and Austria, especially with Austria’s upcoming UN Security Council membership (2027–2028)?
🎤 Speakers:
H.E. Ayman Safadi, Deputy Prime Minister & Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan
Gudrun Harrer, Lecturer in Modern History and Politics of the Near and Middle East (University of Vienna & Diplomatic Academy of Vienna)
