In his speech, King Abdullah stated that Jordan will protect itself against potential threats arising from the Syrian crisis to the nation's national security.

In his concluding remarks, King Abdullah called for action to prevent a lost generation and stressed the importance of restoring trust and acting in solidarity to create a better future for all people.
