In partnership with:
HPCR International is an independent non-profit organization based in Brussels with activities around the world. Their work is aimed at developing innovative approaches and strategic policy tools to address complex security challenges, particularly in situations of armed conflict.
Pursuant to this law, and since the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs required a highly trained corps of diplomats capable of representing Jordan and serving its interests abroad effectively, the JID was restructured to make it the principal executive tool for training Jordanian diplomats and others from different government organizations who are involved in diplomatic work.
