In opening
remarks, Fayez said that Jordan successfully dealt with the pandemic and kept
it under control, thanks to the forward-looking vision of
His Majesty King Abdullah, as it balanced the protection of citizens’ health and the
sustainability of economic life, the education system and the workflow of
various institutions.
The Kingdom has proven its ability to overcome the
worst crises, he pointed out, adding that the pandemic prompted it to
reconsider policies to achieve self-reliance, mainly food security and sustainability.
Fayez called for setting up an Arab center to combat
epidemics, and provide it with the necessary funding for research and to devise
proactive treatment and prevention plans to address the risks of epidemics and
minimize losses from them.
He stressed the importance of the state’s role by
having a strong health system to raise the level of health awareness and ensure
the complementarity of roles by public and private health facilities.
For his part, CCSM Director Father
Rifaat Badr said
the conference will look into economic, social, educational and political lessons
the world learned from the pandemic, plus a session on religious and media
lessons.
Martin Janssen from the education institution in
Eastern Europe also addressed the conference, which was attended by political,
economic, religious, academic and media figures in Jordan.
He described the Kingdom as a bright spot in religious
coexistence, and pointed to the positive aspects of the pandemic and problems
due to lockdowns and other restrictions.
