(MENAFN- Saudi Press Agency) Amman Safar 3 1437 Nov 15 2015 SPA -- Jordan's King Abdullah II said Jordan has demonstrated that it is most capable of turning challenges into opportunities by adopting a reform roadmap that seeks development and progress as collective national endeavor.
In the Speech from the Throne in which he opened 17th Parliament's third ordinary session the King said "we therefore place the improvement of citizens' living conditions at the top of our priorities and at the centre of the economic projects we seek to implement."
The King's speech addressed a number of regional issues mainly the fight against terrorism. "Terrorism is the greatest threat to our region. Terrorist groups especially the khawarej [outlaws of Islam] threaten many countries in the region and beyond which makes confronting extremism a shared regional and international responsibility. However this collective responsibility in its essence is our fight as Muslims against those who aim to hijack our societies and future generations".
