His Majesty King Abdullah inaugurated on Wednesday the 14th parliament second ordinary session by delivering a speech from the Throne.

The King stressed that Jordan's security and stability is a priority that tops all other priorities.

King Abdullah said that it is an opportunity to evaluate our five year march in which we achieved a lot of what we aspire to achieve with God's blessings and in spite of the unstable conditions in the region, indicators show a rise in the rate of economic growth and in exports and investment as well as an invigoration of the stock exchange market, a reduction of debts and an increase in foreign exchange reserves. This assures us that we are on the right track but still, what is required from us is to intensify the efforts and accelerate the implementation of the plans and programs which we have designed to achieve the development we aspire to, these plans and programs stem from our vision for our national interest and from our conscience and aspirations of our people.

The opening ceremony was attended by Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah, a number of princes and princesses, the prime minister, president of the Judicial council, minister of the Hashemite Royal Court, The King's advisors, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, senior civil and military officials and members of the Arab and foreign diplomatic corps.
