1999 A Royal Decree declared the JID an academic research institute under the jurisdiction of the Higher Council for Science and Technology
2000 Agreement was reached to establish the Regional Center on Human Security and the Regional Center on Conflict Prevention
2002 Law number 43 on the Jordan Institute of Diplomacy gave the JID an administratively and financially independent legal identity in order to: "build the capacity of human resources through training and research in diplomacy, strategy, and international studies, and highlight the role of Arab Islamic civilization in international relations." 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. JID programs were restructured to focus primarily on the appropriate research, studies and training in all its aspects (politics, economics, culture, and security). And to ensure continuous coordination between the JID and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of Foreign Affairs became by virtue of his position Chairman of the JID Board of Trustees, and the Secretary-General of the Ministry became a member of the Institute’s Council.
2012 The Jordanian Cabinet decided on July 1st, 2012 to cancel JID's independent status and to become part of the organizational structure of the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.


JID Logo

The logo of the JID is a phrase consisting of its name in Arabic and English written in a slanted manner to express motion and vitality. The phrase interlocks with an oval shape that represents the globe, with a color gradient in red, the color of life. The interweaving of the phrase with the globe embodies the objectives of the JID, to promote fruitful cooperation and human interaction between all parts of the world.
