King Abdullah Appoints Jafar Hassan to Form New Cabinet
On Sunday, His Majesty King Abdullah II accepted the resignation of Prime Minister Dr. Bisher Al-Khasawneh's government, marking a transition in Jordan’s leadership. Al-Khasawneh and his Cabinet would continue to manage the country’s affairs in a caretaker capacity until a new government assumes its duties.
His Majesty entrusted Jafar Hassan, a seasoned political figure, with the formation of the new Cabinet. Hassan, currently the Director of His Majesty’s Office, has been tasked with leading the nation through a new chapter of modernization and progress. The Royal letter of designation emphasized the importance of continuing national modernization programs aimed at enhancing the nation’s resilience and future capabilities.
Jafar Hassan, born in 1968, brings a wealth of experience and academic qualifications. He holds advanced degrees in political science, international relations, and economics from prestigious institutions, including Harvard University and the University of Geneva. His diplomatic and administrative experience, combined with numerous honors from Jordan and foreign nations, underscore his readiness for the role.
As Hassan begins the process of assembling his ministerial team, expectations are high for the new government to drive Jordan’s aspirations for progress and prosperity.
