His Majesty King Abdullah on Monday said the anticipated guidelines and recommendations by the Steering Committee for the National Agenda should be in accordance with citizens' needs and aspirations.

Urging cooperation and coordination between the Parliament, government and civil society institutions to achieve the national goals, His Majesty the King reiterated that Jordan was on the right track for comprehensive reform.

During the meeting, Royal Court Minister Marwan Muasher, who heads the committee, said 200 representatives of the private sector and civil society organizations were picked to work on an eight-point plan on the National Agenda.

Muasher hoped that the committee would draft its recommendations before the September deadline.

He noted that a subcommittee on political development is currently examining related legislation on elections, political parties, public freedoms, civil society institutions, the media and empowerment of women.
