The King of Youth: You are our weapon and your role is important, and your voice will greatly help in the process of modernization and change of culture towards political reform.
The King: Improving the economic situation and strengthening the middle class will speed up political reform.
Today, Monday, King Abdullah II sponsored the celebration of the King Abdullah II Fund for Development, marking the 20th anniversary of its founding.
The celebration, which was held at the King Hussein Bin Talal Convention Center in the Dead Sea area under the slogan “A King’s Vision”, included a visual presentation that highlighted the Fund’s journey since its establishment in 2001, and highlighted its programmes, projects and initiatives.
The King toured among youth groups that benefited from the Fund’s programs, which presented their most prominent achievements, projects and participations over the past years, listening to the youth’s ideas and suggestions.
Among the programs implemented by the Fund are the Parliamentary Fellowship Project and the Media Education Project, with the aim of empowering young people in parliamentary work and enhancing their role in raising awareness and countering rumours.
During the king’s talk with the youth, he stressed that the next stage is important in the process of modernization and political development by approving a system of legislation.
Addressing the youth, he said, you are our weapon, and your role is important, and your voice will greatly help in the process of modernization and change the culture towards political reform.
The King highlighted the importance of integration in the paths of political, economic and administrative modernization, explaining that improving the economic situation and strengthening the middle class will accelerate political reform, which Jordan is aggressively pursuing, and whose success requires a prominent role for youth and women.
He explained that the goal is to achieve a qualitative leap in political life, and to give a greater role for youth and women in the decision-making process, which requires their active participation in partisan programmatic work, which we aspire to be representative of the right, center and left.
The Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the King Abdullah II Fund for Development, Eng. Nasser Al-Lawzi, reviewed the fund’s strategy, which is based on achieving a fair distribution of earnings among the governorates, paying attention to the youth sector, activating their role and enabling them to contribute to the process of construction and development.
According to Al-Lawzi, the Fund undertakes many tasks in order to achieve its goals, most notably: establishing and developing productive development projects in the governorates, providing means of support and technical advice, and establishing and contributing to companies.
The fund also contributes to the process of vocational training and rehabilitation, assisting outstanding students at all educational levels, and supporting scientific activities and local communities, leading to their development and improvement of their living conditions.
In turn, the Director of the King Abdullah II Fund for Development, Saeb Al-Hassan, said that the core of the fund’s work is based on investment in the Jordanian human resource, and it works within the “programs and initiatives” axis to increase productivity and develop the energies of creativity and innovation, and the “establishment of development projects” axis, to contribute to reducing poverty and unemployment.
The ceremony was attended by Head of the Royal Hashemite Court, Youssef Hassan Al-Issawi, and Director of the King’s Office, Dr. Jaafar Hassan.
