Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - His Majesty King Abdullah II, on Wednesday, said the Kingdom's northern borders are strong and secure and the Jordan Armed Forces/Arab Army and security agencies are capable of protecting the nation's frontiers.
The King spoke as he met with community leaders, tribal elders and public figures from the northeastern Mafraq governorate. During the meeting, His Majesty spoke about the recent donors conference in London and said the government, lawmakers and officials are required to work hand-in-hand to achieve maximum benefit of this conference and improve economic performance.
