In a press statement on Monday, he emphasized that the flag embodies the historical continuity of the state, linking modern Jordan to its roots. This is reflected in its colors, inspired by Arab and Islamic civilizations, the Great Arab Revolt, and the Hashemite leadership.
He noted that celebrating the national Jordanian Flag Day, observed on Thursday, April 16, enhances the sense of belonging to the country. He added that the ministry has organized a series of unified and engaging events under the campaign “Our Flag is High” to mark the occasion and highlight its significance.
Al-Rawashdeh explained that the flag will be raised simultaneously across all governorates at 12:00 noon, organized by the Ministry of Interior, with participation from the Jordan Armed Forces band, official bodies, volunteers, and scout groups.
