Jordan–Pakistan relations

[BLACKEAGLE]

HISTORY

Pakistan-Jordan contacts began in the 1970s and 1980s, growing stronger since the mid-1990s. In 2001, Pakistani leaders visited Amman to discuss full-scale cooperation. The King of Jordan lauded what he called "deep, strong and historical relations" between the two countries and affirmed Jordan's keenness on consolidating its ties with Pakistan for the benefit of the two peoples.
On November 2 2007, King Abdullah II of Jordan visited Islamabad and held a formal meeting with the incumbent President of Pakistan, General Pervez Musharraf at the Aiwan-e-Sadr.
In the meeting, Musharraf and Abdullah exchanged views on the overall evolution of regional and international situations, particularly in the Middle East. Concerns over the situation in Iraq were also pointed out, including the emerging sectarian and ethnic divides, and frequent incidents of sacrilegious attacks on holy sites.
Musharraf also spoke to King Abdullah about "Pakistan’s efforts to promote peace and stability in South Asia" and for "addressing the challenges of extremism and terrorism." The two leaders expressed satisfaction over the development of the Pakistani-Jordanian bilateral relations in various fields, especially of the cooperation levels that had successfully been established in the economic and trade segments.

Trade and investment

As of 2004 and 2005, the trade volume between Pakistan and Jordan remained at $53.837 million, in which Pakistan’s exports stood at $21.013 million and imports were registered at $32.806 million. In the past, many Jordanian leaders have invited Pakistani investors to look into opportunities available in the energy and power sectors of Jordan.[4]In June 2006, an initiation for the process of negotiations in concluding Free Trade Agreement and Protection and Promotion of Investments was scheduled and set during the 8th session of the Pak-Jordan Joint Ministerial Commission. During the session, discussions were also made on matters regarding the overall amount of cooperation in agriculture, science and technology as well as other areas.

Pakistan's and Jordan's relations go way back.
I have been to Egypt, SA, Jordan and Turkey..
The first two I felt an alien..and not as welcome..
but both in Jordan and Turkey.. I felt as if I am with family.

Tell an Egyptian you are from Pakistan.. and they will look at you with arrogance.. the same goes for many Saudi's.
But in Jordan.. I had to just say Pakistan and I was hugged.. kissed. and treated like royalty.
Many a place in Amman when they found out I was from Pakistan.. it was either food at half price.. or on the house.

Jordanians are really nice people...I had few Jordanian friends while I was studying, they were really nice.. Often I would visit their place for Sheesha and special tea. I am still in contact with one of them.

Jordan-Pakistan relations have been strong ever since 1970 when General Zia helped King Hussein subdue the Yassir Arafat's PLO by commanding forces which killed ~2,000 of Arafat's troops. You don't get any greater full-scale cooperation than that.

Oh yeah, Dance this is the history of Pakistan. Prince Hasan is the younger Brother of late King Hussain ( father of Jordan's King Abdallah) and he was supposed to be the heir to the throne but King Hussain changed his will at the last minute before his death and made his oldest son Abdallah the crown prince.

Prince Hasan's wife Princess Sarvath Hasan use to be Sarvath Ikramullah , daughter of Ambassador Sir Mohammad Ikramullah of Pakistan. The couple met at oxford while they were studying at Oxford. Pakistan's former President Ayub Khan attended their wedding in 1968.

Why do you think the Jordanians treated you so well?

PS I know an Egyptian girl and she's pretty friendly to me, then again I haven't met many "Egyptos" people.

 

[Dance]

There are apparently a lot of Jordanians studying in Pakistani universities too

[DESERT FIGHTER]

She is wearing a saree..?!

Thts coz she was from east Pakistan.......... :
Her father, the late Bhopal-born Mohammed Ikramullah, was a senior member of the Indian Civil Service in the Government of India prior to Partition. He went on to join the Partition Committee of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, later becoming Pakistan's first Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and Ambassador to Canada, France, Portugal and the United Kingdom. His last post was as Chairman of the Commonwealth Economic Committee. Her mother, the late Kolkata-born Begum Shaista Suhrawardy Ikramullah, was a writer and one of Pakistan's first two female members of Parliament. Begum Ikramullah also served as Ambassador to Morocco and several times a delegate to the United Nations.[2][3][4]
The Princess' paternal uncle, Mohammad Hidayatullah, was Vice-President of India and her maternal uncle, Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy, was Prime Minister of Pakistan. Some of her other ancestors were Quraishi, include members of the Chishti Order, as well as the Iranian Sufi philosopher, Shaikh Shabuddin Yahya Suhrawardy.[2] Many of her male and female forebearers, on both sides of her family, were poets, writers and academics.[3] She lived in all the countries that her parents were posted to, but mostly received her education in Britain, such as at the University of Cambridge.[2][3] She first met Prince Hassan in London in 1958, when they were both 11 years old.[5]
[edit]Marriage and children

Princess Sarvath married Prince Hassan bin Talal of Jordan, in Karachi, Pakistan on 28 August 1968. They live in one of the oldest houses in Amman and have four children:[2][6]
Princess Rahma (born 13 August 1969)
Princess Sumaya (born 14 May 1971)
Princess Badiya (born 28 March 1974)
Prince Rashid (born 20 May 1979)

Not sure where you invented this from. I know a lot of Egyptians and work with them day and they. They are pretty decent people but you may be confused by their culture which is a bit rough and aggressive. I know a few Egyptian investors as well doing business in Pakistan. Mobilink for a long time was an Egyptian owned venture by Orascom.
