AMMAN — Prime Minister Abdullah Ensour on Tuesday attended a ceremony marking the 50th anniversary of the UNDP and its 40th year in Jordan. Ensour highlighted the UNDP's role in supporting international development efforts and enhancing states' resilience.

The premier also said the recent historic visit of UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim to Jordan expressed the international organisation's keenness on supporting the Middle East.

He also noted that the UNDP has been an important partner for the Jordanian government since 1976, and has had a clear impact on financing and implementing several development projects and initiatives, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
