Noor al-Hussein became queen of Jordan in 1978, after her marriage to King Hussein Ibn Talal, who ruled the Hashimite kingdom from 1953 to 1999. Born Elizabeth Najeeb Halaby, she changed her name to Noor al-Hussein (light of Hussein) in the context of her engagement to the king and her conversion to Islam.
Her Majesty is an international humanitarian activist and an outspoken voice on issues of world peace and justice. Queen Noor plays a major role in promoting international exchange and understanding of Arab and Muslim culture and politics, Arab-Western relations, and conflict prevention and recovery issues such as refugees, missing persons, poverty and disarmament.
She has also helped found media programs to highlight these issues. Her conflict recovery and peacebuilding work over the past decade has focused on the Middle East, the Balkans, Central and Southeast Asia, Latin America and Africa.
Your majesty , Thank you so much .......
