Amman

Their Majesties King Abdullah and Queen Rania on Saturday received the US First Lady Laura Bush.



King Abdullah and Bush met with a group of students representing 16 Arab countries who presented the problems faced by their respective countries.



His Majesty said it would be impossible to build the future without the vital participation of the younger generation, especially that the youth category constitutes half of the population of the Arab world.



“You are the hope of the future, not only of the region but the whole world,” the King told the students.
