(Jordan Times - Amman) His Majesty King Abdullah on Saturday said he was looking forward to the meeting Jordan is hosting for the Young Arab Leaders (YAL) organisation later this year.

More than 500 YAL members and young leaders from the Arab world will convene at the Dead Sea on Nov. 22-23 to discuss issues of concern to the organisation.

As the King and Her Majesty Queen Rania met with the YAL board of directors and chapters' directors in Aqaba yesterday, he voiced hope the organisation would rise to expectations in addressing the challenges facing the Arab world.
