Jordan’s King Abdullah II arrived in Pakistan today for a two-day state visit, personally invited by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. The visit aims to strengthen cooperation in politics, economy, defense, and culture, marking a significant chapter in the “brotherly” relationship between the two nations.
During his visit, King Abdullah II is scheduled to hold top-level meetings with President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. Both sides are expected to announce new initiatives for strategic collaboration, including defense partnerships and economic agreements. Officials say the visit could redefine Pakistan-Jordan relations, opening doors to unprecedented cooperation.
Adding a historic touch, Pakistan will honor King Abdullah II with the country’s highest civilian award in a grand ceremony at Aiwan-e-Sadr. The ceremony will celebrate his pivotal role in strengthening bilateral ties and mark a milestone in the nations’ shared history.
This is King Abdullah II’s first visit to Pakistan since his trip during former President Mamnoon Hussain’s tenure. During that visit, the two countries signed landmark agreements covering defense, civil protection, and housing projects.
The visit follows King Abdullah II’s recent commendation of Pakistan’s armed forces during a meeting with Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir in Amman. He expressed keen interest in expanding defense cooperation between the two nations, emphasizing the shared values and mutual trust that have defined Pakistan-Jordan ties for decades.
Officials say the state visit is expected to boost trade, cultural exchange, and defense collaboration. Both countries aim to establish long-term frameworks for joint projects and strategic partnerships. The visit also highlights Pakistan and Jordan’s commitment to strengthening diplomatic relations while fostering stability and peace in the region.
