Role and Mission

This has reasons, including in the contemporary Jordanian case: the Jordanian state was established and continued as a state of role and mission, which Jordanians and Hashemites agreed upon even before the land of King Abdullah I set foot in Ma'an. This is the mission of liberating the nation, achieving its independence, and unifying it, no matter how long it takes and how great the sacrifices are.

It is known that belief in the role and the mission gives those who possess them an advantage that distinguishes them from other individuals, groups, and countries. This is the advantage that His Majesty King Abdullah II referred to in his speech at the 81st meeting of the United Nations General Assembly, which is the advantage of having a clear vision and not ignoring the facts and turning a blind eye to these facts.

This advantage has enabled the contemporary Jordanian state to triumph over all the difficulties, challenges, and conspiracies it has faced, and there have been many and severe ones over more than a century.

In all stages of its contemporary history, the Jordanian state has possessed, in addition to a clear vision and not ignoring the facts, one of the greatest reasons for its continuity and cohesion, which His Majesty King Abdullah II also referred to in his speech at the 81st meeting of the United Nations General Assembly, when he said: "We know that we cannot choose between an emergency crisis and building the future, so we are moving forward on both paths together."

Based on this philosophy of the Jordanian state, while it was dealing with the crises of the region, and there were many of them, from numerous attempts to divide its internal ranks and destabilize its stability and social peace, to facing Israeli aggression, and the latest forms of it, trying to threaten our northern borders through its presence in southern Syria, which means a threat to our water security, as well as the danger of threatening sectarian militias, and attempts to flood our country with drugs and weapons, but dealing with all these crises and risks, no matter how costly, did not distract Jordan from continuing to look to its future and work to build this future to be a bright one.
