His Majesty King Abdullah has received cables from senior officials and officers marking the 65th anniversary of the Arabisation of the leadership of the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army (JAF), which falls on 1 March.
 
His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II received similar cables on the occasion.
 
The officials recalled the bold, historic decision by His Majesty the late King Hussein for bolstering the country’s sovereignty and independence, paying tribute to the sacrifices of the Arab Army in defence of the nation.
 
They commended JAF’s ongoing development and modernisation, under the leadership of King Abdullah, noting that Jordan continues to build on achievements as it embarks on its second centennial.
