The largest Jordanian community abroad is working in Saudi Arabia, standing at about 600,000, commending their competencies in various fields, he noted.

Saudi Arabia is the first country to launch the Arab Peace Initiative at Fez Summit in 1980, and the second initiative at Beirut Summit in 2002, he said.
Israel will not obtain peace without restoring rights of brotherly Palestinian people, which was emphasized by His Majesty King Abdullah II at United Nations General Assembly in New York last Tuesday, he noted.
Referring to the 'distinguished' educational and cultural cooperation between the two countries, he said 'outstanding' attendance in celebrating Irbid as the capital of Arab culture last week confirms Jordan's cultural position in Saudi Arabia.
