PARIS, April 29 (KUNA) -- The French government welcomed on Friday the
comprehensive reform package unveiled recently by Jordanian King Abdullah II.
The course of reforms adopted by King Abdullah II notably the decision to
set up a royal committee to amend the constitution will enable the legislative
and executive authorities play an effective role and ensure better future for
the Jordanians, French Foreign Ministry's deputy spokesperson Christine Fages
said in a press briefing.
France also welcomes the formation of a national committee for dialogue on
the development of a modern election law that could revive the political life
and enable all actors to tackle the economic and social challenges, she added.
The spokesperson affirmed France's support to the resolve of Jordan to
pursue the reform course thoroughly.
On Tuesday the Jordanian monarch tasked a panel with revising, and
suggesting amendments to, the constitution with a view to ensuring a better
future for the country.
Another panel, consisting of key politicians and representatives of trade
unions, and civil society institutions, is working out a new election law
aiming to realize the political and economic reforms. (end)
