Abdullah II ibn Al Hussein

From His Majesty’s address at the General Debate session of the 81st UNGA - 22 September 2026

Abdullah II ibn Al Hussein

From His Majesty’s address to the nation on the 80th Independence Day - 25 May 2026

Abdullah II Ibn Al Hussein

Every citizen is guaranteed the state’s protection for their lives, families, properties, honour, privacy, and freedom of religion and thought.

Abdullah II Ibn Al Hussein
