Topolanek, on a visit to Jordan, met the country's two leaders today. "Of course, I objected that we are not so big or strong a country, but they see it otherwise and they view our role as very important," Topolanek said.

He pointed to the sea resort Akaba as a place offering opportunities for Czech tourists, entrepreneurs and investors. A Czech-Jordanian agreement on cooperation in tourism was signed during Topolanek's talks in Amman today. Topolanek, on behalf of Czech President Vaclav Klaus, invited the King of Jordan for a visit to the Czech Republic, and on his own behalf he extended the same invitation to the Jordan's prime minister. Topolanek presented King Abdullah with a hunter rifle with unique engravings, similar to that he had given to U.S.
President George W. Bush recently. The rifle's Czech producer, Ceska Zbrojovka, that previously signed a contract for supplies of pistols to the Iraqi armed forces, hopes it will manage to sign a similar contract with Jordan. This afternoon Topolanek left Jordan for a two-day visit to Israel where he met President Shimon Peres.
