In an official protocol ceremony that embodies the depth of the fraternal relations between the two brotherly countries, His Highness Prince Mansour bin Khalid bin Farhan Al Saud presented his credentials to His Majesty King Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein, King of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to Jordan.
The presentation of credentials ceremony took place at Basman Palace in Amman, where His Excellency the Ambassador conveyed the greetings of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, Crown Prince and Prime Minister - may God protect them - to His Majesty the King of Jordan, and their wishes for the brotherly Jordanian people to continue to progress and prosper.
The depth of historical relations between Riyadh and Amman
The appointment of Prince Mansour bin Khalid bin Farhan to this high-ranking diplomatic post underscores the strategic importance that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia attaches to its relations with the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Saudi-Jordanian relations are distinguished as a model of joint Arab action, based on a long historical legacy of coordination and cooperation between the wise leaderships of both countries.
These relations transcend traditional diplomatic frameworks, reaching the level of a firmly established strategic partnership, underpinned by ties of kinship, neighborliness, and a shared destiny. The past decades have witnessed a convergence of visions and stances on various Arab, regional, and international issues, particularly concerning support for security and stability in the region, and the defense of just Arab causes, foremost among them the Palestinian cause.
Promising strategic and economic dimensions
Strengthening diplomatic representation is not limited to the political sphere alone, but extends to broad horizons of economic and investment cooperation. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is one of the largest investors in Jordan, and the Saudi-Jordanian Coordination Council plays a pivotal role in developing these relations and expanding them into wider areas, serving the interests of both brotherly nations.
The coming period is expected to witness active diplomatic and economic engagement, particularly in light of the Kingdom's Vision 2030 and Jordan's economic modernization vision, as the two countries' goals converge in promoting sustainable development, diversifying income sources, and creating job opportunities. Cooperation in the fields of energy, electricity interconnection, transportation, and food security constitutes a fundamental pillar of this growing partnership.
Prince Mansour bin Khalid bin Farhan has extensive diplomatic experience, having previously represented the Kingdom in several important European capitals, which enhances expectations of a qualitative leap in the course of bilateral relations, and the activation of more joint agreements that serve the interests of both countries and the security and stability of the region.
