Crown Prince Bids Farewell To Visiting Jordanian Royals

Bandar Seri Begawan - His Royal Highness Prince Haji Al-Muhtadee Billah, the Crown Prince and Her Royal Highness Paduka Seri Pengiran Anak Isteri Pengiran Anak Sarah bid farewell to His Majesty King Abdullah II Al Hussein, King of Jordan and Her Majesty Queen Rania as they departed from the Brunei International Airport yesterday after a three-day State Visit to the sultanate.

Their Majesties were given a farewell salute by the Guard of Honour as they boarded the aircraft. Also present at the airport was Her Royal Highness Princess Rashidah Sa'adatul Bolkiah.

Over the three days, the Jordanian monarch held discussions with His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam which aimed to increase bilateral relations between Jordan and Brunei. The monarchs have acquiesced to sign agreements, which had the objective of developing cooperation in the fields of economy, tourism and defence.

His Majesty King Abdullah II also had the opportunity visit the military installation in Temburong, where His Majesty was shown several jungle warfare demonstrations performed by the Special Force Regiment of the Royal Brunei Armed Forces while Her Majesty Queen Rania paid a visit to the Yayasan Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah School.

The Jordanian royalties also had the opportunity to tour the Islamic exhibition at the State Mufti's Office Darul Ifta where items of Brunei's Islamic heritage were displayed.

Accompanying the Jordanian royalties during the state visit were Their Royal Highnesses Princess Basma and Princess Zein.  -- Courtesy of The Brunei Times
