New Delhi/Amman,16 December (H.S.): Prime Minister Narendra Modi commended Crown Prince Al-Hussein bin Abdullah II's zeal for Jordan's advancement on Tuesday, spotlighting his exemplary contributions to youth empowerment, sports, space exploration, innovation, and welfare for persons with disabilities during an extensive interaction on his visit.

In a warm post, PM Modi stated, During my Jordan visit, I’ve interacted extensively with His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al-Hussein bin Abdullah II. His passion towards Jordan’s progress is clearly visible. His contributions to areas such as youth development, sports, space, innovation and furthering welfare of persons with disabilities are truly remarkable. My best wishes to him in his pursuits to strengthen Jordan’s growth trajectory.

This endorsement capped PM Modi's two-day landmark tour—India's first bilateral to Jordan in 37 years—marked by King Abdullah II palace talks yielding five MoUs on renewables, water management, Petra-Ellora heritage twinning, cultural exchanges to 2029, and digital solutions; a business forum pitching $5 billion trade; and Crown Prince's personal airport send-off amid 75 diplomatic years.

PM Modi proceeds to Ethiopia (December 16-17) for inaugural state engagements with PM Abiy Ahmed Ali, followed by Oman (December 17-18) with Sultan Haitham bin Tarik, advancing West Asia-Africa corridors.
