AMMAN — Prime Minister Omar Razzaz on Monday sent a televised message to Jordanians on the occasion of the Kingdom’s 74th Independence Day anniversary, which fell on Monday.

 

In his message, Razzaz stressed that Independence Day “is not only an annual occasion that Jordanians celebrate. Rather, it is a living experience that Jordanians live daily under the Hashemite leadership”, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

 

He said: “My Jordanian brothers and sisters, happy Independence Day! It is an occasion dear to all of us.”

 

“Independence is a living experience, like a lush, perennial tree that we nurture, whose shade we enjoy and whose fruits we reap. It is rooted in historical national constants, its branches embrace the sky of ambition, its leaves are evergreen and its fruits strengthen our self-reliance,” the premier said.

 

“Our independence, like a living tree that adapts to the seasons, faces storms steadily and stubbornly, bypassing them, recovering and becoming more and more invincible after every storm,” he added.

 

“Happy Independence Day to our wise leadership and our generous people,” he said.
