Amman: Members of the Jordanian Senate emphasized that the Kingdom's independence anniversary on May 25, 1946, stands as a significant national milestone in the journey of a nation grounded in the rule of law and justice. Celebrating the 80th Independence anniversary represents the culmination of national achievements under the wise Hashemite leadership and the resolute will of the people, as expressed during interviews with Petra.
According to Jordan News Agency, senators highlighted that the journey of independence has been marked by continuous legislative development and the strengthening of the justice system to meet the aspirations of a modern state. These efforts align with the Hashemite leadership's vision of consolidating the rule of law and institutional governance while achieving sustainable development. The Royal future vision, manifested in political, economic, and administrative modernization tracks, serves as a roadmap to enhance sustainable development and achieve economic prosperity, thereby contributing to a dignified life for citizens and bolstering the state's position and achievements across various sectors.
Senator Tawfiq Krishan, head of the Senate Administrative Committee, remarked that May 25, 1946, was not merely a date of declared independence but a pivotal historical moment marking Jordan's transition to a fully sovereign state. This transition was rooted in a clear vision and a profound national project championed by the Hashemite leadership since the Great Arab Revolt in 1916. Under King Abdullah II's reign since 1999, Jordan has embraced modernization, development, and future-oriented openness, which has led to advancements in administration, education, the economy, and legislation, as well as fostering political participation, youth and women empowerment, and entrepreneurship.
Senator Ahmad Tbeishat, head of the Senate Legal Committee, noted that Jordanians commemorate Independence Day with pride, reflecting the journey of a state founded on the rule of law and justice. He highlighted the positive partnership between the legislative, executive, and judicial branches as a hallmark of integrity and independence, ensuring a fair and impartial application of the law.
Senator Nidal Al-Hadid emphasized that Independence Day celebrations culminate a journey of national achievements, with the King's future vision serving as a roadmap for sustainable development and economic prosperity. Senator Hussein Hawatmeh underscored that celebrating the national anniversary honors Jordan's sacrifices and achievements in building the state and reinforcing its sovereignty.
Senator George Hazboun described independence as a bright milestone in Jordan's history, establishing the meanings of sovereignty and national dignity. Senator Mazen Darwazeh highlighted the intertwined nature of Jordan's independence with its steadfast support for Palestinian rights, rooted in the Hashemite custodianship over Jerusalem's holy sites.
Senator Reem Abu Dalbouh acknowledged the achievements of Jordanian women in all fields, attributing their progress to the King's directives and emphasizing their essential role in the nation's comprehensive reform project.
