Jordan king highlights national interests

Jordan's King Abdullah II on Tuesday said that national interest should top all other interests and considerations and that work should be done in a "team spirit." "The relations between the three authorities, especially the legislative authority and the executive authority, should be one of cooperation, a relationship built on confidence, respect and feelings of shared responsibility," the King said in remarks during a meeting at the Royal Court with speakers and members of the lower and upper houses of parliament, former prime ministers, the King's advisors, and advisors at the Royal Court.
