On the last evenings of 2025, Jordan resembled a warm, ancient house, where we stand at its windows not only to count what has passed, but to reflect on what we want to come. At that moment, wishes are not mere words but a tale of a nation writing its next chapter through the will of its people and its known patience, the patience of the land that taught its children that tomorrow is not given, but built.
In 2026, we dream of Jordan taking a confident step towards reducing unemployment, not through promises, but through real opportunities that spring up in every province, and every village and city. We dream of a young person who does not just wait for a job behind a desk, but creates his work with his hands and mind, and finds someone to embrace his idea and support his ambition. To make work a social value, and production a national identity, as we move from a society of consumption to a society of production; we plant, manufacture, innovate, and take pride in what we produce as we do in our history.
On the path of construction, the road must be clean. Therefore, we look forward to a year in which battles against legislative, financial, administrative, and service corruption are fought without hesitation or favoritism. Corruption condemned and the corrupt held accountable, because justice is not a slogan, but a basic condition for renaissance. When citizens feel the law protects them and no one is exempt, trust flourishes, and nations rise.
And with every dream, security and stability remain a solid foundation. In 2026, we salute and appreciate our armed forces and vigilant security agencies, those who watch over the citizen's comfort and protect peace in turbulent times. We wish them more strength, modernization, development, and growth, because the strength of the nation comes from the strength of its shield, and because the security of Jordan has always been and will remain the safety valve for all development and every dream—they are the nation's shield and decisive sword..
We hope that the new year will be rich with developmental projects that actually touch people's lives; projects that create job opportunities, uplift infrastructure, and restore balance between the center and the periphery. Development measured not only by numbers but by human dignity and quality of life.
In the political and social scene, we look forward to more freedoms, and the enhancement of a democratic path based on participation, dialogue, and respect for other opinions. A mature democracy that does not exclude, but unites, and opens doors to the energies of youth and women, to be true partners in decision-making and shaping the future.
We also hope that a society of solidarity will solidify, where no needy person is left alone, and no weak person is forgotten in the crowd. A society that extends its hand with kindness and promotes values of moderation and centrality, values that have always been an integral part of the identity of Jordan and the message of its people.
The year 2026 is not just a number on the calendar, but a new opportunity. An opportunity to write a more beautiful story, differing in means but united in goals with respect and steadfastness, working sincerely, and dreaming boldly. That Jordan be as we want it: a nation strong in its justice, thriving by the efforts of its sons, secure by its men, and advanced by its values, its constitution our reference, and its flag our shelter—we cherish it and keep it high and fluttering in the horizons.
Thus, we open the window to the new year, and with certainty that the sun will rise, as long as we believe that nations are built with hope, and preserved with work and sacrifices
