There is also a very strong family bond, from King Mihai and King Hussein, to Crown Custodian Margareta and King Abdullah II, the royal families have made a permanent effort to bring the Middle East closer to South-Eastern Europe and to make our countries a model of cooperation, said Prince Radu.   He paid tribute to the presence in Romania of Her Royal Highness Princess Muna al-Hussein, mother of the Hashemite Sovereign of Jordan, who will soon celebrate 20 years of visiting our country for generous projects related to vocational education, defence, health and social projects.The Decoration of the Royal Family Order - Custodian of the Romanian Crown - was presented by Her Majesty Margareta. The Jordanian high guest characterised the event as a true moment of pride.Not only for me, but for all those with whom I have had the privilege to work together throughout my career, receiving this award is a reflection of the strong ties of friendship between Jordan and Romania. The two nations have a history of cooperation, mutual respect and cultural exchanges, through which, over the years, we have built bridges between different fields: economic, educational, cultural, which have enriched us as we move forward, said Her Royal Highness Princess Muna al-Hussein. She voiced her confidence that these ties will continue to flourish, allowing us to work towards a future that benefits both nations.I am deeply honored to play a role, however small, in furthering this relationship (...) and I look forward to continuing to develop the relationship between Jordan and Romania into a partnership, the mother of the Hashemite Sovereign of Jordan also said.   At the invitation of the Romanian authorities, Her Royal Highness Princess Muna al-Hussein is paying a visit to Romania from Monday, October 21 to Friday, October 25.On Thursday evening, Crown Custodian Her Majesty Margareta hosted an official dinner in honour of Her Royal Highness Princess Muna al-Hussein of Jordan.
