Ammon News - King Abdullah II will inaugurate the 20th National Assembly's initial session tomorrow, Monday, with the Throne Speech around 12:30 pm.

During the Speech from the Throne, the King will assess national policies and key vital issues in the region.

The Speech from the Throne includes unique ceremonies and a special outfit that the King only wears twice: on the day he becomes king and when giving the speech.

The simplicity and beauty of His Majesty's throne dress convey grandeur and majesty. It is an independent characteristic of the government, in line with the constitutional provisions that define the state's organization and its system of rule outlined in the constitution's first article as "Parliamentary, hereditary monarchy."

The throne dress is available in two colors: black for winter and white for summer.

The royal attire embodies the symbolism and grandeur of the state, with the King typically donning the official military uniform that represents Jordan's military customs and his position as Supreme Commander of the Jordanian Armed Forces.

Medals and decorations are placed on the military uniform to emphasize the official standing and historical role of the royal family in serving the country, showcasing medals that symbolize national and international accolades.

The military attire chosen for this event signifies its significance and emphasizes King Abdullah II's connection to his role as a leader in safeguarding the unity of the nation and the Kingdom's heritage.

The monarch proceeds to the National Assembly for the Throne Speech surrounded by a red procession, a longstanding royal custom since the establishment of the Kingdom, adorned in regal military attire, riding horses and wearing a red keffiyeh, and followed by open red military vehicles and bicycles.

The parade attends formal events and patriotic holidays in a structured and peaceful way, becoming ingrained in the minds of Jordanian citizens. It includes twenty traditional open-air "Land Rover" vehicles owned by the Hashemite Royal Court, along with ten red bicycles.

The parade's red color was selected to match the maroon Hashemite flag, as well as the yellow Royal Guard flag with a lion's face and two swords emblem. The military uniforms of the red parade team are complemented by red shemaghs and agals on their heads, both displaying the Arab Army logo, along with a red scarf on their chests.

When His Majesty arrives at the National Assembly with the red parade, the Armed Forces bands perform, followed by His Majesty inspecting the honor guard, a customary practice involving celebratory military formations wearing the traditional Jordanian official military uniform, including the red shemagh and the Jordanian keffiyeh.

The parade involves arranging soldiers in structured formations and practicing exact military movements that demonstrate discipline and professionalism. The military bands play the Jordanian royal anthem and national tunes during the parade, creating a celebratory ambiance for the event.

Once the ceremonies in the courtyard of the National Assembly are finished, His Majesty will go into Parliament's dome to give the Throne Speech and declare the start of the first regular session of the National Assembly, with the Senate and House of Representatives members and Government present.
