Issawi meets Balqa tribes in Amman under Royal directives

AMMAN — Royal Court Chief Yousef Issawi on Thursday met with Balqa tribes in Amman, in implementation of His Majesty King Abdullah's directives to meet tribes and follow up on their needs and demands.

During the gathering held at Al Hussein Youth City, Issawi, who is also the head of the follow-up committee for the implementation of Royal initiatives, met with representatives of Balqa tribes and listened to their needs, demands and suggestions, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

The meeting aimed at enhancing communication with all citizens nationwide and considering the possibility of including their demands within the government’s priorities to improve Jordanians' living conditions and provide quality services.

Highlighting His Majesty's vision to improve citizens' living conditions and achieve sustainable growth across the Kingdom, Issawi said that "challenges are great, but far greater are the opportunities", lauding Jordanians resilience. 

Improving the level of services presented to citizens and meeting various demands are based on cooperation with citizens and the complementary roles played by all stakeholders, the chief said.

The Royal Court chief acquainted the gathering with His Majesty's efforts in developing economic conditions, emphasising that Royal Initiatives already implemented and soon to be implemented are complementary to the government’s plans and programmes.

For their part, Balqa tribe notables and representatives reviewed their demands, which are mainly related to developing healthcare services, job creation, establishing income-generating projects, improving infrastructure and creating vocational training centres and cultural centres that can tap into youth's talents.

Issawi, last Saturday, met the dignitaries of Balqa tribes in Madaba and Balqa, Petra added.
