Jordan Daily – Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah visited Sahab on Wednesday and hosted a luncheon for more than 100 women active in education, culture, media and civil society.
According to a statement from the Queen’s office, Sahab Governor Ali Mawas and Mayor Abbas Maharma welcomed the Queen and discussed several projects serving the community’s families.
Her Majesty thanked the women of Sahab for their welcome and expressed warm wishes for Jordan and its people in the year ahead.
Reflecting on the past year, Queen Rania noted that it has been a “difficult period for the region, marked by oppression and unimaginable suffering” in the Gaza Strip, the occupied West Bank and elsewhere.
“We used to believe that all people in this world had an equal claim to humanity and human rights; but sadly, we are seeing otherwise,” she said.
“We in Jordan will stay true to the core values with which we were raised: kindness, generosity, compassion, care and community. These are the values I never fail to see in the Jordanian people,” she added.
Queen Rania expressed gratitude for the nation’s “many blessings,” adding that the birth of her first granddaughter, Her Royal Highness Princess Iman bint Al Hussein, is what she is most thankful for this year.
