Prince Feisal sworn in as Regent

AMMAN — HRH Prince Feisal on Monday was sworn in as Regent during His Majesty King Abdullah’s absence, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

King Abdullah headed to Singapore and Indonesia on Sunday evening.

During the visit, he is scheduled to hold talks with senior officials from both countries that focus on economic ties and regional developments.

 The visit aims at boosting coordination with the two Asian countries and building joint stands towards regional and international issues, particularly as Jordan has won a UN Security Council seat representing Arab Asia and the Far East, according to a Royal Court statement issued earlier this week.
