The Commandant of the Royal Jordanian National Defense College inaugurated today, Sunday, the second round of the Strategic Dialogue Program for lecturers of Military Science and Citizenship at Jordanian universities. The opening was attended by the Director of Military Education and Culture, the Chairman and members of the Guidance Board, and the Director of the University Education Department.

This program is part of a series of academic initiatives being implemented in cooperation with the Directorate of Military Education and Culture, in line with the Royal Vision and in execution of the directives of the General Command of the Jordanian Armed Forces to engage with national institutions and build strategic partnerships.

The program aims to establish a structured channel of communication between the Royal Jordanian National Defense College and public and private universities—via the University Education Department—to address current, emerging, and future issues related to Jordan’s national security. It also explores matters linked to strategic thinking, statecraft, and crisis management, with a forward-looking approach to problem-solving for emerging challenges.

Furthermore, the program seeks to deepen national awareness by reinforcing historical identity, promoting the values of citizenship, and cultivating patriotism. This is achieved through Military Science lecturers at both public and private universities, with the broader goal of enhancing the educational output of Jordanian university graduates and preparing generations that are well-informed about national and regional issues. The initiative also aims to empower faculty members within the military sciences departments and strengthen their role in higher education, while fostering trust and integration with national institutions.

In his address, the Commandant of the College highlighted the importance of such programs in promoting the concept of national security and generating actionable feedback from participants to serve national objectives. He noted that this target group has the greatest influence on youth—the true wealth and future defense of the nation—drawing inspiration from the Royal Vision that emphasizes the development of human capital through education and learning, while leveraging modern communication tools and technologies.
