In his address, Al-Jaghbir highlighted the significant role played by the Jordan Armed Forces in defending and protecting the nation’s borders, expressing pride in being one of the retirees of the Arab Army. He noted that the experience he gained during his military service had positively influenced his work in the industrial sector.
He added that Jordanian industry is one of the key sectors supporting the national economy and has witnessed substantial development over recent decades thanks to the support and patronage of His Majesty King Abdullah II, and before him the late King Hussein, may he rest in peace.
