In September 2001, Prince Hamzah began his undergraduate studies in the United States.

When asked what concerns him most for Jordan, His Royal Highness says it is impossible to isolate one single issue from the dynamics of the country. Coming of age in the 21st century, however, Prince Hamzah has personally experienced the rapid social change and globalization affecting young Jordanians and youth around the world. Young people under the age of 19 comprise more than half of the Kingdom's population.

With the growing popularity of the internet and satellite television broadcasts, Prince Hamzah is concerned about how Jordanians will become an integral part of the global village. "While reaping the benefits of these new technologies and relationships, we must take care to preserve the fabric of our society. We have so many strengths as a people, in our culture, history, and heritage. So many noble traditions define us. Knowing 'who we are' is very important. We are a family structured society providing a strong safety net. I would hate to lose that," he says.

In a 17 August 2001 speech at the Al Hussein Third Arab Youth Forum held in Amman, His Royal Highness also acknowledged the steadfastness of Jordanians who "continue the process of acquiring knowledge and science from around the globe, creating new cities, building distinguished universities as well as advanced research institutions and factories. They pursue  their  endeavor  despite  many  challenges  and  limited  resources."

His Royal Highness stressed, "youth have a vital and important role to play. The future…depends on our  ability  to  analyze  the  circumstances and understand the requirements and means to achieve our goals." When confronted with resistance, "there is no way…except through dialogue and to convince people of the need for change." Prince Hamzah recognizes that younger generations bear a heavy burden. He advised them not to give in to despair, and urged them to "accept the challenge…conduct a rich and in-depth dialogue, which can lead to initiatives at the scientific, cultural and social levels."

His Royal Highness maintained that, "it is not impossible to attain your aspiration provided it is based on a clear vision, sound programs and realistic plans, on logic and knowledge, and by being well-prepared and open to other cultures." The goal, as stated by Prince Hamzah at the Arab Youth Forum is: "A society enjoying prosperity and growth with everybody acquiring their right to science and knowledge and to living a decent life."

Prince Hamzah also envisages a bright tomorrow for his nation. In his own words:

"I hope that we can strengthen this country, working together to build upon the accomplishments of our parents and grandparents … to realize the vision of Jordan as an oasis, a place where everyone lives with pride, enjoys life, works hard, believes in something, and feels comfortable raising their children in a safe, free and healthy environment. The most important thing is that all the people of Jordan believe that together we can build a future that is worthy of our country, our people and our heritage. Insha' Allah (God willing) it will be a great future under the sun!"
