親愛なる友人の皆様、

駐日ヨルダン・ハシェミット王国大使館のウェブサイトへようこそ！

このサイトをきっかけにヨルダンという国について、そしてその文化や人々について少しでも知っていただければ大変嬉しく思います。

ヨルダンは100年以上にわたり、世界の平和、中庸、寛容の模範として確固たる地位を築いてきました。

2024年、ヨルダンと日本は外交関係樹立70周年を迎えます。 これは、過去70年にわたり両国が共に築き上げてきた永続的な友好と協力の絆を示す記念すべき年であると言えるでしょう。この節目は、二国間の絆の強さを強調するものであり、私たちは大きな熱意と誇りをもってこの記念行事を共に祝うことを楽しみにしています。

日本との国交は1954年に樹立され、我々は一貫して戦略的パートナーシップと温かい友好関係を享受してきました。過去数十年にわたり、アブドッラー２世国王のリーダーシップの下、我々のパートナーシップは、相互尊敬と、より人間的で平和な世界を目指す価値観とビジョンの共有に支えられ、着実に発展しています。私たちの長年にわたる関係は、ヨルダンと日本の王室・皇室間の格別な友情によってさらに強化されています。

平和を愛するヨルダンという美しい国を訪れ、その狭い国土にとどまらない多様な魅力を体験することで、私たちの変わらぬ友情を祝っていただきたいと思います。

歴史に興味のある方は、世界で最も保存状態の良いローマやビザンチンの遺跡、ウマイヤ朝（紀元661～750年）の素晴らしい砂漠の城、ユネスコ世界遺産であり新世界七不思議のひとつでもある世界的に有名なナバテア人の都市ペトラなど、先史時代や古代の遺跡探訪を楽しむことができます。ペトラのほかにも、キリスト教発祥の地であるイエス・キリストの洗礼場の地など、ヨルダンには5つのユネスコ世界遺産があります。

Dear Friends,

Ahlan wa sahlan!

Welcome to the website of the Embassy of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in Japan. We are delighted with your visit and we hope that it offers you a glimpse of Jordan, its culture, and its people.

For over 100 years, Jordan has stood strong as a role model for peace, moderation, and tolerance in the world.

During the year 2024, we mark the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Jordan and Japan.  It is a momentous occasion that reflects the enduring bonds of friendship and cooperation that we have jointly crafted over the past seven decades. This milestone highlights the strength of our bilateral ties, and we look forward to commemorating it together with great enthusiasm and pride.

Diplomatic relations with Japan were established in 1954, and we consistently enjoy strategic friendly bilateral relations and warm friendship. Throughout the past decades and under the leadership of HM King Abdullah II, our partnership has steadily evolved and continues to develop fueled by mutual respect and shared values and vision for a more humane and peaceful world. Our longstanding relations are further bolstered by the exceptional friendship between the Royal and Imperial families of Jordan and Japan.

I invite you to celebrate our enduring friendship by visiting our beautiful peace-loving country and experiencing its diverse offerings that go beyond its relatively small geographical area.

History lovers can enjoy exploring prehistoric and ancient archaeological sites showcasing some of the world’s best-preserved Roman and Byzantine ruins, fabulous desert castles from the Umayyad dynasty (661-750 CE), and the world-famous Nabatean city of Petra – a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the New 7 Wonders of the World. In addition to Petra, there are five UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Jordan, including the Baptism site of Jesus Christ, the birthplace of Christianity.

The breadth and depth of Jordan’s history is equally matched by the natural and geographical diversity it offers. The Oxygen-rich Dead Sea, located at the lowest point on earth, and the magical desert of Wadi Rum, whose beauty captivates the soul, are just a few examples of the diverse ecosystems found in Jordan.

We are genuinely grateful to the entities that deepen the ties between our countries, such as the Japan-Jordan Parliamentary Friendship League and the Japan-Jordan Association. We are also looking forward to enhancing our people-to-people relations through forging friendship and cooperation agreements between Jordan and Japan in various fields and with diverse partners.

Thank you once again for visiting our website. I hope exploring our website will inspire you to visit Jordan and to experience the wonderful and authentic hospitality that Jordanians are famous for and extend to all visitors and friends.

Here’s to the next 70 years of friendship and cooperation between Jordan and Japan!
