AMMAN, Jordan - Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano today traveled to Jordan where she met with King Abdullah II and Prime Minister Fayez Tarawneh, and delivered remarks on women and next generation leadership in security at the Columbia University Middle East Research Center.

"By enhancing collaboration between our two countries, we will continue to work together to develop a cooperative and global approach to the challenges and threats we all face."

Secretary Napolitano also met with Minister of Interior Ghaleb Al Zubi, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Jordanian Armed Forces Lt. General Mashal Al Zaben and Director of General Intelligence Directorate Major General Faisal Shobaki to discuss cooperation on issues related to combating human trafficking, enhancing information sharing and securing international travel and shipping.
