Celebrating the Visionary Leadership & Lasting Legacy of His Majesty King Abdullah II

Today, Jordanians and friends of Jordan around the world celebrate the birthday of His Majesty King Abdullah II, born in Amman on January 30, 1962, the eldest son of the late King Hussein and Princess Muna Al Hussein. Since ascending to the throne in 1999, King Abdullah II has been a symbol of stability, resilience, and forward-looking leadership in a region marked by change and challenge.

His Majesty’s leadership blends strategic vision with sincere personal engagement. A graduate of prestigious institutions including the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and Georgetown University, the King has applied his diverse experience to strengthen Jordan’s international partnerships, invest in human capital, and advance economic and social modernisation.

Beyond statecraft, King Abdullah II is known for his human touch, visiting families in villages and refugee communities, listening to people’s concerns, and responding personally in times of crisis. His leadership has extended to humanitarian efforts across the region, supporting aid missions and initiatives designed to alleviate suffering and promote hope.

As a devoted husband to Queen Rania and proud father and grandfather, His Majesty embodies both family values and national service. His deep commitment to the well-being of all Jordanians and the broader global community continues to shape Jordan’s role as a beacon of peace and moderation.

On this special day, we honour His Majesty’s legacy of leadership, his dedication to humanity, and his enduring inspiration to future generations.
