In the post, he penned, “Now back in Jordan, I thank our friends in Japan, Vietnam, Singapore, Indonesia and Pakistan for the gracious hospitality.”
His Majesty continued, “Our talks covered economic cooperation and strategic partnerships. Looking forward to following up on these prospects through our public and private sectors.”
On his last day of the high-profile tour, the King met with the President of Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari in Islamabad, where they held a meeting in which Abdullah expressed pride in the strong relations between Jordan and Pakistan.
