I love that black dress with the full skirt that Rania wore on the last day.

No gala pictures?
 
KA is a lucky man! I admire Queen Rania for the active role she's playing. She does a great job for her country and is a hard worker. She's a perfect ambassador for Jordan worldwide and IMO more recognized for her professional work than for her good looks and perfect dresses which is quite an achievement for a woman in the Middle East.

Thanks shrifia. To be honest I only knew of the Pakistani PM and Afghan president among the political leaders at the event. The Salvadorean and Croatian presidents were identified by the captions in Gettyimages but they didnt mention the Moroccan PM (although I knew he was going to be in Jordan for the G11 summit)
 
Do we have any video of the queen speaking in this last black outfit?
 
I saw a picture of Queen Rania recently wearing a red t-shirt with something like empowerment on it. When was this? I think that it was at some conference.

Thanks, I was concerned it might not be taking place after the Elie Weisel's losses during the Madoff scandal.
