This meeting comes within HPC work plan for the year 2024, which includes holding meetings with Jordanian political parties to review the demographic scene in Jordan and exchange ideas about ways to encounter the challenges relevant to this scene. Through these dialogue meetings, HPC seeks to keep political parties well informed of the most recent and expected demographic changes in Jordan and the impact they have on all social, economic and environmental sectors and needs. It is to be noted that all these efforts are encompassed under the enactment and fulfilment of the royal vision calling for communication, coordination and cooperation between governmental, official institutions and civil state institutions
