Queen Rania looks so beautiful in this picture.
Thanks for all information and pictures.

She seem s to be wearing less makeup on this visit and has stopped putting it on with a shovel - she looks much better for using less IMO
 
I have just seen King Abdullah in Plaza San Martin, after his meeting with the President.

Seems Rania didn't attend the ceremony. Is that because this is a working visit to Argentina rather than a state visit, like with Chile? Anyway, she will have some competition in the elegance stakes at the dinner given by the Argentinian president, who is a former model or beauty queen as I remember.
 

thanks for the pictures! we have some great correspondents in TRF. were there lots of people waiting for the arrival of the king?

The meeting was scheduled for 16.30, but the president arrived at 17.10:bang:

what a dissappointment. can't they (the kirchners) try to be diplomatic and respectful when royalty and other VIPs who visit the country? did the king have to wait? :bang:

Thank you everybody for all the photos, videos etc.

Rania and Noor have both looked wonderful during this trip and considering how hectic it is (it's hard to keep up) they have done a great job of hiding any tiredness.

Does anybody know if they have taken llittle Haya and Hashem with them? Haya is only about 18months old so it must be hard for her to be away from her parents.

In an interview with the Argentinean daily Clarin, published on Monday, King Abdullah said the opportunity is now available for South-South cooperation, particularly between Latin American countries and the Middle East.
He said Jordan seeks to bolster these relations in the fields of culture and commerce, urging better ties between Jordan’s private and public sector institutions and their counterparts in Latin America.
