Jordanian King & Queen Attend KADDB Anniversary

Jordan News Agency

King Abdullah II and Queen Rania were at the 10th anniversary dinner banquet of the King Abdullah Design and Development Bureau today. The organization does advanced work in the defense industry, giving the army the latest in defense technology and equipment.

Held at the King Hussein Bin Talal Convention Center near the Dead Sea, the King and Queen learned how KADDB provides Jordan’s biggest exports and it is one of the Hashemite Kingdom’s main economic stimulations.

Started in August 1999 by royal decree, KADDB is an independent military-civilian agency that works with such companies as Boeing, Hokir and Koch.

Since the military is one of Jordan’s most important sectors, KADDB might grow more for years to come.
