With the rise of a new year, Jordanians stand as they have always known themselves, on solid ground of belonging, driven by hope, and united by their faith in a nation that has never been a passerby in history, but is present in actions, steadfast in principles, and strong in its leadership and its people
Jordan is not just geography; it is a message, a state, a national identity, and a unique political experience in a turbulent region. Despite regional, economic, and political challenges, Jordan has proven under the leadership of His Majesty King Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein, may God protect him, that wisdom, moderation, strategic vision, and protection of the state and its institutions make Jordan strong
His Majesty the King has led the reform process with a sense of responsibility, placing the sons and daughters of this nation at the heart of the national project, affirming that progress can only be achieved with the rule of law, enhanced political participation, the development of party life, justice, and preserving stability. The political, administrative, and economic reforms have been proof of the leadership’s belief that the future is built by deeds, not slogans, and that the youth are the decision-makers and agents of change
Jordan has maintained its international standing through His Majesty the King's support for neighboring countries and his wise voice in defending the causes of the nation, foremost among them the Palestinian cause, where the Hashemite custodianship of the Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem has remained a symbol of honor and historical responsibility, and a stance that does not accept compromise
Jordan, led by the master of the country, has established its image as a state that respects its commitments and seeks peace without compromising its national principles
The strength of Jordan has never been in its resources but in its people, and the strength of the Arab army in its soldiers, teachers, youth, and women, and in every Jordanian who carries the nation in their heart before carrying it in their name. With the beginning of this year, the confidence is renewed that the youth are the foundation of the next phase, and that investing in their awareness and capabilities is the real guarantee for the future of the nation
We welcome the new year, and Jordan proceeds steadily, knowing no despair and bending not to storms because behind it there is wise Hashemite leadership, an aware people, and stable state institutions
May God protect Jordan and preserve His Majesty the King and may this nation remain safe, strong, and proud, advancing confidently towards a better tomorrow
And we say to you, my Lord, with you and by you we proceed
