Prince Hassan calls for partnership between Jordanians, refugees

AMMAN — HRH Prince Hassan has called for building a mutual partnership between Jordanians and those living in the Kingdom as refugees.

During a recent meeting with representatives of the industrial and commercial sectors, as well as Jordanian, Arab and foreign investors in Irbid Governorate, the prince said, “It is time to rethink the form of relationship between Jordanians and the refugees in the country in light of the inadequate international support to refugee-burdened Jordan.” Prince Hassan said this relationship should rest on the concepts of productivity and complementary partnerships in the fields of training, rehabilitation and expertise exchange.

He added that among every five Jordanians there is a Syrian and that the value of the international assistance to Jordan does not exceed 20 per cent of the actual cost of the refugee crisis.
