His Majesty King Abdullah stressed on Monday that the Euromed partnership today is more important than ever.

“Its success will deliver the opportunities that our young people need … create the stability for freedom to thrive … and provide a global model of mutual respect among nations,” King Abdullah said in remarks presented on his behalf by HRH Prince Feisal at the Euro-Mediterranean Summit in Barcelona.

King Abdullah said Jordan's active participation in these efforts, and others, “reflects our larger national vision. We seek sustainable development and reform: not short-term, narrow-impact measures, but deep, lasting change that benefits all citizens.”
