China, Jordan witness steady development, Chinese Ambassador says
Ammon News - China's Ambassador to Amman, Chen Chuandong, has affirmed that relations between China and Jordan are witnessing steady development based on mutual respect and shared benefits across all fields. Speaking at a farewell reception Tuesday evening to mark the end of his diplomatic mission in the Kingdom, the ambassador praised Jordan, under the leadership of His Majesty King Abdullah II, as an "oasis of security and stability" in the Middle East. He commended the nation for overcoming numerous challenges and for its confident and optimistic pursuit of development and modernization. He highlighted the alignment of both nations on several regional and international issues, particularly their shared support for a just, two-state solution to the Palestinian cause and their cooperation in delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza. Ambassador Chen noted the significant growth in economic partnership, pointing out that bilateral trade soared to $537 million in 2024, marking a 21% year-on-year increase from $360 million in 2020. He cited major projects, including a "Belt and Road" initiative memorandum signed this year, Chinese firms becoming the largest shareholder in the Arab Potash Company boosting its output and contributing to China's food security and extensive investments in Jordan's solar and wind energy sectors, which have created numerous jobs and supported the Kingdom's green transition. Cultural and educational ties have also flourished. "Chinese troupes have participated in the Jerash Festival for consecutive years, and events like 'Tea for Harmony,' food festivals, and anime screenings have been widely embraced by our Jordanian friends," Chen said. He added that approximately 600 Jordanians are studying Chinese, while 500 Chinese students are studying Arabic in Jordan, and the embassy provided training in China for nearly 600 Jordanians last year. Marking the 10th anniversary of the strategic partnership between the two countries, the ambassador expressed his optimism for a brighter future and a broader scope for bilateral relations.

Role of Crown Prince Foundation in promoting collective work — Tawasol Forum
The Crown Prince Foundation (CPF) stands as a beacon of hope for millions of Jordanians, particularly the youth. Through its initiatives, the CPF extends its reach across the nation, fostering awareness, dialogue, and action on critical national issues. The Foundation champions the active engagement of youth in leadership, entrepreneurship, education and sustainable development while addressing the challenges and opportunities of an increasingly digital world. This strategic focus aims to harness the capabilities of Jordan's young population, creating pathways for enhanced job opportunities and ensuring their active participation in shaping the nation's future. Among the many initiatives spearheaded by the CPF, the Tawasol Forum has emerged as a pivotal platform for national dialogue. Now in its third edition, the Forum has become a cornerstone for institutionalizing conversations on pressing issues concerning the future of Jordan and its people. The third edition of the Tawasol Forum, held recently, emphasised the critical role of youth and their empowerment as central themes. This year, the Forum centered its discussions on emerging and transformative themes such as Artificial Intelligence, Digital Transformation, Technical and Vocational Education and Entrepreneurship. The Forum also embraced a comprehensive and inclusive approach in discussing national issues that resonate with future generations. Topics such as tourism, culture, art, administrative and economic reform, and other societal matters were deliberated with a focus on their long-term implications. This diversity of topics reflects the CPF's commitment to ensuring that all facets of national development are considered in shaping Jordan's trajectory. To further amplify the impact and out reach of the Tawasol Forum, its dialogue sessions are broadcast live through various media and social media channels. This approach ensures widespread community engagement and raises awareness among young people about pressing national issues and their implications for professional, social and economic futures. By incorporating innovation and fostering direct communication with stakeholders, the Forum is building vital bridges that connect diverse sectors of society. Moreover, by making the data and outcomes of the Forum accessible, national and educational institutions can rely on these insights as a valuable reference for strategic planning and policymaking. The discussions, findings and recommendations emerging from the Tawasol Forum are being meticulously drafted to create a clear and comprehensive vision. This vision aims to guide decision-makers and executive authorities in formulating policies and strategies aligned with the aspirations and needs of the Jordanian people. By channeling the insights gained through dialogue into actionable outcomes, the CPF seeks to make a tangible impact on the nation's future. Looking ahead, there is a shared vision for the Tawasol Forum to evolve into one of Jordan's most important national think-tank centers. By adopting an interactive, innovative and inclusive mode of operation, the Forum aspires to mirror successful models from developed countries that prioritise scientific and participatory research. For a country like Jordan, which has long lacked such forward-thinking platforms, this represents a transformative opportunity. By organising future editions of the Tawasol Forum, it becomes possible to explore and simulate the intricate relationship between local and global challenges in an ever-accelerating digital world. The Forum's ability to propose innovative solutions will be key in addressing these challenges, ultimately contributing to enhancing the quality of life for all Jordanians. These efforts, showcasing the Crown Prince Foundation's unwavering commitment to progress, embody the aspirations of Jordanian leadership to foster a culture of collective action. Under the visionary guidance of HRH Crown Prince Al Hussein and the support of His Majesty King Abdullah, the CPF strives to establish a sustainable environment that nurtures creativity and innovation.
