By Petra - May 19,2014 - Last updated at May 19,2014

AMMAN — One of the main streets in Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan, was named after His Majesty the late King Hussein on Monday, in commemoration of his contributions at the Arab and international levels and in recognition of his efforts to develop relations between Jordan and Kazakhstan.

Amman Mayor Aqel Biltaji is scheduled to attend a ceremony on this occasion.

During a several-day visit to Astana, Biltaji and Astana Mayor Imangali Tasmagambetov will look into ways to activate the twinning agreement signed between the two cities in 2005.
