King calls for proactivity as country tackles challenges His Majesty King Abdullah on Wednesday chaired part of a Cabinet meeting at the Prime Ministry, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported. During the discussion, His Majesty said that "we have to work together to overcome challenges that face our country", stressing that crises increase Jordanians’ "resilience". The King praised cooperation among Jordanian institutions, underscoring the importance of learning from crises to improve ability of dealing with future challenges. He stressed that Jordanian efforts at Al Aqsa Mosque/Al Haram Al Sharif will continue by using all available tools. King Abdullah said that Jordan is closely observing the situation in Jerusalem, stressing that the challenge there is political and not only a matter of security. As for the Amman Israeli embassy incident, where a diplomat shot and killed two Jordanians, the Monarch reiterated that Jordan would not compromise its people's rights and that Israel is demanded to take legal action to serve justice. He stressed that the case would be followed up on closely. On economy, King Abdullah said that economic situation in the Kingdom needs time to see results on the ground, noting that most of the economic challenges are accumulative and that there is already a “clear” economic correction programme to achieve the envisioned reforms. * Source: Bloomberg, Jordan Times, Zawya Disclaimer Awraq Investments and its affiliates obtain information from sources they believe to be reliable, but do not warrant its accuracy or fitness for a particular purpose, and disclaim for themselves and their information providers all liability arising from the use.
