In a speech, delivered on his behalf by his wife Ruby Sakkam, Filipino Ambassador Akmad Sakkam stressed his country's commitment to strengthening relations with Jordan for mutual progress and prosperity.
He said sovereignty, freedom, and democracy are three values cherished by every Filipino. "These values found clear expression recently, when our countrymen held nationwide elections and voted a majority for an elected President."
