Royal Hashemite Court Chief Yousef Issawi on Monday evening patronized a celebration organized by the Pioneer Center for Studies and Human Rights Training in Amman to mark the kingdom's Independence Day under the theme "Independence and Investment," alongside the 10th anniversary of the center's founding.

The event was attended by official and public figures, alongside economic, media, and academic representatives from Jordan and the wider Arab region, as well as delegates from public and private sector institutions.

In a speech delivered on behalf of the honorees, media personality Hani Al-Badri highlighted the importance of cementing national dialogue and developing a discourse that reflects the efforts and vision of His Majesty King Abdullah II in service of Jordan, adding that mutual respect and affection represent the core values uniting the Jordanian people.

The celebration featured a panel discussion moderated by media presenter Cathy Farraj, during which the center's director, Rania Haddadin, reviewed the institution's 10-year journey and its future vision in the fields of human rights, capacity building, and entrepreneurship.

Haddadin stated that the center has trained more than 2,500 young people in leadership and investment, conducted specialized training programs for parliamentarians, and organized 12 investment conferences alongside roughly 70 local and regional conferences, guided by royal visions on youth empowerment and development.

She added that the center has placed special emphasis on spreading a culture of human rights, empowering persons with disabilities, supporting orphans, reinforcing concepts of citizenship, rights, and duties, and implementing programs that protect and develop the capabilities of youth.

At the conclusion of the event, the center honored prominent Jordanian and Arab economic, political, cultural, and media figures in recognition of their societal contributions, with the Royal Court chief presenting them with honorary plaques.
