His Majesty King Abdullah has received cables marking the 21st anniversary of his assumption of constitutional powers, which falls on Friday, 7 February.

The cables’ senders—senior officials, army officers, heads of security agencies, and representatives of civil society organisations—paid tribute to His Majesty the late King Hussein and his achievements in building Jordan.

They also praised King Abdullah’s leadership over the past two decades, citing the focus on youth empowerment, and technological and economic advancement.

They expressed optimism in Jordan’s future as it prepares to celebrate its centennial as a state, lauding His Majesty’s efforts in defending Arab and Islamic causes, and voicing support for the King’s role in safeguarding Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem, in line with the Hashemite Custodianship.
