During a meeting at Al-Husseiniya Palace with members of the

the House is one of the most important channels to convey citizens’ concerns

The King urged promoting public engagement with
platform-based political parties and showing openness to all opinions and
viewpoints that serve national interests, stressing the value of continuous
coordination and the need to address national issues through constructive
dialogue and debate.
Discussing challenges facing Jordan’s environment and water
sectors, the King pointed to the importance of implementing a desalination
project in Aqaba (the National Water Carrier Project), as part of efforts to
counter climate change and bolster water resources through strategic projects.
Turning to the Palestinian cause, His Majesty reiterated
Jordan’s steadfast and clear positions, voicing full support for the
Palestinians as they seek their just and legitimate rights, and stressing that
none can question the Kingdom’s positions towards the Palestinian people.
For his part, House Speaker Abdul Karim Doghmi said the
House is keen on finalizing the proposed bills before it, especially those
related to the outcomes of the Royal Committee to Modernize the Political
System, after thorough deliberations.
He noted the ongoing cooperation between the House and the
government, in accordance with the Constitution, urging the government to
propose to the public an economic plan that can improve their living
conditions.
The speaker said the House seeks to amend its rules of
procedure to enhance performance, noting the importance of activating the role
of its committees and blocs by holding regular meetings with the executive office.
Attendees from the House’s permanent office addressed
several issues related to domestic affairs, reiterating their commitment to
implementing the Royal vision on modernizing the political system.
They highlighted their commitment to working with the government
on proposing recommendations that can help in alleviating poverty and
