AMMAN (AFP) – Jordan's King Abdullah II acknowledged on Thursday in a meeting with Islamist leaders that reforms have "decelerated and stumbled," and pledged "serious steps" for change, the palace said.
"Jordan's reform drive has decelerated and stumbled, which cost the country a lot of chances to achieve progress," a statement quoted the king as telling leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood and its political arm the Islamic Action Front (IAF).
"My vision for comprehensive reforms and modernisation must be translated into practical and serious steps focusing on all Jordanians and the country's interests."
