Chairman's Speech
Natural resources represent the main economic resource for many neighboring and sister Arab countries to Jordan, which suffer from scarcity of these resources represented by scarcity of water resources, various minerals and energy sources.
Jordan, with the wisdom and prudence of the Hashemites, has been able to achieve a comprehensive economic and social renaissance by focusing on human capital.... by overcoming many challenges by blending progress and modernity with good customs and traditions that distinguish it from other countries, which made it the focus of attention and an example to be emulated by many countries.
The interest in the youth element was one of the priorities of His Majesty King Abdullah II, who said: "We think about the future.. and we think about the young generation.. and how to achieve their hopes.. and we seek to overcome the difficulties facing them.. and provide them with good education; because we see that this matter will contribute to reducing poverty and unemployment, and will help support and enhance our initiatives to develop Jordan, and raise the standard of living of our people." It was indeed a turning point in the history of our beloved Jordan, as human resources came to cover our shortage in other natural resources, with unparalleled support from our brilliant leadership.
The Hashemite march did not stop at developing the youth category only, but went beyond that to provide facilities for foreign and Arab investments.. and the serious and continuous effort to develop the tourism sector and uranium exports in the near future, in addition to oil shale, and developing the commercial and trade sector, and information and communications technology to achieve economic growth in the future. The leadership also did not neglect the continuous interest in imposing social security, bridging the gap between classes, reducing poverty rates and alleviating unemployment by creating job opportunities for youth, and opening Arab markets to the sons of the homeland.
As for the education sector, the Hashemite leadership did not forget to support this sector with the latest modern means and programs to raise the level of curricula, and support universities and scientific research to keep pace with the developments of the era. As for the medical sector, it is one of the most successful sectors in the region through qualified cadres, hospitals and health centers spread throughout the country. To treat all segments of society with the same efficiency and distinguished service, and as we all know that medical tourism is the most important tributary to the national economy, it came thanks to the tireless efforts of the leadership.
Jordan's journey since its founding and independence until now... reflects a remarkable Jordanian success, the Jordanians have made great and precious efforts to write it under the unique and wise Hashemite leadership.
May God protect Jordan as a safe homeland for all honorable and free people, and may God protect its leadership that has the ability to steer the helm of life towards the shores of safety in a stage filled with conflicts
