Their Majesties King Abdullah and Queen Rania on Monday attended a reception held by Her Majesty Queen Noor, marking the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the King Hussein Foundation (KHF).

His Royal Highness Prince Hamzah and Her Royal Highness Princess Iman also attended the reception.

The event, held in honour of KHF's Jordanian and international partners and staff at Bab Al Salam Palace, is part of a series of festivities highlighting the foundation's dedication to the humanitarian legacy of His Majesty the late King Hussein. The foundation, chaired by Queen Noor, commenced a weeklong series of events on Sunday with the opening ceremony of the 29th International Arab Children's Congress, according to a press statement released by the foundation. “The King Hussein Foundation strives to be a meaningful living tribute to His Majesty King Hussein, who sought foremost to create opportunities for a better life for all Jordanians, as well as a more peaceful and prosperous Middle East,” Queen Noor said in the statement.

“On the occasion of this 10th anniversary of the King Hussein Foundation, I extend my heartfelt thanks and gratitude to the dedicated work of our nearly 450 foundation staff and the many hundreds of Jordanian and international partners that have contributed to the foundation's achievements and success over the past decade,” she added in the statement.

Other events will include the foundation's 13th Jubilee School Graduation ceremony and a gala concert with the Amman Symphony Orchestra at the King Hussein Park.

Queen Noor will also host a special recognition ceremony for 90 staff members who have served the foundation for a decade or longer.

The King Hussein Foundation was established by Royal Decree in 1999 to serve as an enduring commitment to His Majesty King Hussein's humanitarian vision and legacy.

The foundation encompasses the Noor Al Hussein Foundation, created in 1985 to facilitate lasting social and economic change across Jordan, and includes the Jubilee Institute, Institute for Family Health, Community Development Programme, Jordan Micro Credit Company-Tamweelcom, Information and Research Centre, National Centre for Culture and Performing Arts, and National Music Conservatory.
