lil Monkey is this an official opening of Parliament?
I read in an article a few weeks ago in the Jordan Times that the King had delayed the opening of Parliament this year but that was before the attacks in Amman.
If this is a parliamentary opening then we might see many members of royal family tomorrow.

King Visits Prime Ministry</STRONG>

Pet0771 4 0712 King Visits Prime Ministry Amman/Nov.28(Petra)-- His Majesty King Abdullah II on Monday expressed his confidence in Bakhit's cabinet and its capability in shouldering responsibility. King's remarks were made during a meeting with newly- appointed cabinet at the Prime Ministry on Monday. During the meeting, the King underlined the importance of working in a full partnership and in a team spirit to achieve national interests noting the greater responsibility laid upon the economic team in the government to combat poverty and unemployment. The King added "I believe we are heading in the right direction to remedy poverty and unemployment". King Abdullah underscored the necessity to give due support and care to citizens following these circumstances that have witnessed price hike. "I'm confident that the government will be able to improve the standards of living of the citizens and provide them with a better future", said the King. King Abdullah said Jordan's relations with neighboring countries are very important, adding that we'll build on these relations and enhance them. The King also underlined the importance of balancing between reform and security and our policy is very clear. "The terrorist attacks ripped through Amman's hotels wont sway us of forging ahead", King Abdullah said, adding that its very important to protect our country and at the same time to work hard to develop our country socially, economically and politically. "I'm confident that you will fulfill your duty and I urge everyone to work in same direction to achieve a better future", the King said. King Abdullah called on the government to lay down clear plans, programs, and strategies to develop Jordan. "If we do not have clear plans and programs of short-term... one-three years, we would fail to develop Jordan as we want," the King said. The National Agenda will be our pilot and will be a working program for future, he added. Prime Minister Marouf Bakhit praised the King's visit to Prime Ministry. "Your Majesty's visit gives us more determination and resolution to work hard to translate your vision into reality for the benefit of our citizens" ,Bakhit said. Premier said the government will immediately head to form ministerial committees on different issues. In a related context, Bakhit said the government will draw up a strategy with two parallel issues, the first includes a swift remedy through programs whose impacts can be felt by citizens on a short term such as housing, the second focused on attracting Arab and foreign investments that can create job opportunities for Jordanians and transport knowledge and settle down technology.

**Humera** · #17 12-01-2005, 05:47 PM

oh no, you can post photos directly to the forum if they are of current events. But since the Petra pictures are very big, they're beyond the size limits on TRF so I first upload them on image shack and then post the thumbnails here.
