King Abudllah  
QuoteSHIDIYA - His Majesty King Abdullah on Saturday laid the cornerstone for a $625 million Jordanian-Indian project for the manufacturing of phosphoric acid that is expected to earn the Kingdom about $300 million in export revenues annually.
Ma'an Development
QuoteThe Ma'an Development Area (MDA) is an initiative of King Abdullah II, aiming to alleviate the variations between the Kingdom's municipalities and allow equal opportunities to the Jordanian citizens. The initiative also aims to make Jordan a primary hub for foreign investments and to make Ma'an an important element of the Jordanian developmental front.
