In New York with King Abdullah II
Rania’s visit is part of an official tour she is making with King Abdullah II. The royal couple first traveled to France and the Czech Republic before arriving in the United States.

Recent posts by Rania have documented their time in Prague, including a meeting with Czech President Petr Pavel and First Lady Eva Pavlová.
New York is the final stop on the tour, where King Abdullah II is expected to represent Jordan and address the UN General Assembly.
The general debate of the 81st session is taking place from September 22 to 28, when heads of state and government present their countries’ positions and priorities.
Jordan’s Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II is also in New York and is expected to participate in the General Assembly’s proceedings.
Rania’s international public role
Rania’s presence during General Assembly week extends beyond her role as a member of Jordan’s royal family. Her participation in international events and meetings has for years been associated with issues including education, children, social development and the position of women.
She has also developed a highly recognizable public profile by combining her institutional role with a modern approach to public communication.
Through social media, Rania frequently offers her followers a more personal view of official visits and international engagements.
Her recent tour with King Abdullah II, from Paris and Prague to New York, reflects both aspects of her public role: her position as Jordan’s queen and her direct communication with audiences through social media.
