His Majesty King Abdullah on Sunday said positive change demands a process, a systematic approach that can turn hope into reality.

"It must reflect the needs and concerns of our people: youth, who want to fulfill their potential … elders, who help us see what is right … and achievers, like you, with the proven ability to get a job done," His Majesty the King said at the World Economic Forum's closing ceremony.

"This year's forum builds upon input from all these. It targeted the most important concerns of our people - opportunity; justice; security; freedom. That's backed up by the important opinion survey reported at this forum. It tells us people want to move forward; they want meaningful reform; they want to see a tangible difference in their lives," said King Abdullah.
