Jordan Embassy in Jakarta Celebrates 80th Independence Day

The Embassy of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in Jakarta hosted a celebration for Jordan's 80th Independence Day on Tuesday evening, June 9, 2026. The event took place at the Four Seasons Hotel in South Jakarta and was attended by Indonesian officials and numerous ambassadors from friendly countries.

Ambassador Sudqi Atallah Al-Omoush of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan to Indonesia expressed his pleasure in commemorating the national day in Indonesia. He noted that Jordanians typically celebrate their independence on May 25. During the ceremony, Al-Omoush reflected on the sacrifices made by the Jordanian people and their ancestors, as well as the "brilliant journey" of wise Hashemite leadership. He described Jordan's path as a story of an independent nation characterized by dignity, unity, and prosperity, inspired by the legacy of the late King Abdullah I.

Al-Omoush further highlighted the strong cooperation between Jordan and Indonesia, emphasizing that their relationship is built on mutual respect, security, and justice. He stated that both nations collaborate within multilateral forums to advance humanitarian agreements, promote international law, and foster multilateralism. "Jordan and Indonesia have strengthened cooperation in higher education, culture, health, infrastructure, energy, and logistics, on an inclusive journey," he remarked.

Indonesian Minister of Health Budi Gunadi Sadikin welcomed the close collaboration, noting that both countries share common missions and values, which have sustained their diplomatic ties. He extended congratulations to the government and people of Jordan on their 80th anniversary of independence. Jordan, historically part of ancient territories ruled by various civilizations, became the Emirate of Transjordan in 1921 under British mandate and officially gained full independence on May 25, 1946, as the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan under King Abdullah I of the Hashemite Dynasty.
