Five Key Points in the Throne Speech

Given that the above requires a strong state with a stable economy, the economic modernization plan and major development projects aim at achieving economic independence and resilience. A Jordan that is economically stable and recovering, where citizens feel the tangible impact of development, is best able to defend the causes of the nation and safeguard its unity and strength.

Since a strong economy requires dedicated men and women, public service is an honor, not a burden. Any official who exploits their position for personal gain represents a disease that must be eradicated through strict adherence to the rule of law.

The water challenge, clearly highlighted by the King, is one of the major issues Jordan is striving to overcome. Hence the National Carrier Project, which Jordan insisted on implementing despite obstacles. Yet Jordan will not cease demanding its rightful water shares, refusing to compromise on them—because water means life and development.

Parliamentary oversight is one of the most important duties of the National Assembly. This requires a strong parliament, both in speech and conduct. Its sole focus must be the interests of Jordan and its people, avoiding petty disputes and fruitless conflicts. This is the role of the people's representatives, who derive their authority from the people—the sole source of powers under the Constitution.

All opinions, however diverse, are welcome. Diversity and pluralism enrich the national journey. Yet this diversity comes with conditions, foremost among them respect for the law, and aiming at constructive correction rather than inciting conflict or discord. Freedom of expression is protected under the Constitution.
