Jordan celebrated the 80th anniversary of its Proclamation of Independence on May 25. The occasion was marked by ceremonies in Brasília, including a reception for Brazilian and foreign authorities hosted by the Embassy of Jordan on Monday (8). Brazil’s Chamber of Deputies also paid tribute to the Arab country during a special session held on May 18.
Among those who addressed the session were Jordan’s ambassador in Brasília, Maen Masaden (pictured); the director of the Middle East Division at Brazil’s foreign ministry, Clélio Crippa Filho; the Vatican’s apostolic nuncio to Brazil, Gianbattista Diquattro; and federal deputies Marcelo Crivella and Pedro Soares.
“Eighty years of independence represent not only a milestone of pride in our national history, but also a moment for reflection and gratitude, as well as an opportunity to honor the generations of Jordanians who built the state, defended its sovereignty, and strengthened its institutions,” said Masaden.
