Amman, (Petra)-- The United Nations 2009 report on security and stability around the world has ranked Jordan 14th among the world’s top countries in preserving safety, security and stability for its citizens and visitors, Al Rai daily reported on Saturday.

The 140- page report, which ranked Switzerland first, pointed that Jordan is considered among the safest and most stable Arab nations as a result of the dedication of security apparatuses in providing safety and security in the Kingdom, noting that the security apparatuses proved capability and experience in detecting attempts to shake stability.

Earlier this year, a U.N. specialized team visited the Kingdom and carried out a study on security and stability in Jordan. The team commended the way security officers deal with citizens and visitors in the Kingdom.

Security procedures followed in Jordan are considered among the most accurate ones in the region, a fact that could help security apparatuses preserve security and stability in the country, the study said.
