His Majesty King Abdullah opened the 14th parliament's first ordinary session and delivered the Speech from the Throne detailing his vision and plan of action for the newly appointed government.

His Majesty reiterated firm commitment to change and development, to take initiative unwaveringly, whatever the difficulties, so that Jordan's roots continue to be firmly established and resolute its own surroundings and throughout the world, for Jordan, with its Hashmite mandate, is Jordan the pioneer, Jordan the model and the example to be followed.

The King wished the parliament to be a legislative chamber that distinguishes itself in its performance, and a source to which the government refers for assistance when it works out its comprehensive plans and national programs to influence the positive change and respond to the ambitions and hopes of our youth, from " Jordan First" to " Jordan present and future".

King Abdullah stressed that" the huge challenges that confront the Arab Nation, call upon us to revise a lot of our positions in order to achieve the glory of this great Nation. In this we bank on our genuine, ingrained Hashemite role, which dictates upon us a spirit of entrepreneurship and initiative. The cause of Palestine and its brotherly people, as well as Iraqi's quest for the better future are deeply embedded in Jordan's sentiment and conscious".

The King reiterated that" We shall never languish or save any effort until justice has been achieved in Palestine and Iraq and until the peoples of these two brotherly peoples enjoy their independent free will".
