Along the lines of the consistent and clear approach drawn by the Hashemites upon the foundation of the Jordanian state, King Abdullah II demonstrated that he was a truthful bearer of the Nation's Message when addressing the Doha Summit. Not only was his speech straightforward, clear and insightful, but it also showed awareness of current developments putting record straight in an (faithful) endeavor to face up the challenges and changes that pose a threat to the Arab security on the basis of "building a unified (Pan-Arab) strategic vision to address present and future developments and our ability to be effective players on the world arena." But one main requirement of this strategy, as His Majesty envisages, is to pursue the clearing up of the Arab atmosphere, settle all differences, take up a unified stand, and boost Arab solidarity, a principle that needs be not held as a hollow slogan but turned into action based on institutional relations. This manifests the very attitude of His Majesty who has always been keen in all his endeavors to give precedence to Pan-Arab concerns over narrow national interests. That is why he is keen to improve brotherly ties and cooperation among Arab states but in a manner that would serve common goals and interests that must be well governed by rationalized agreements and rules that make these ties sustainable and neutral from any marginal differences particularly in the economic domain and joint projects. And, this is what paves the way to unity.
