AMMAN, Jordan - Jordan's official news agency says King Abdullah II has reshuffled his Cabinet.
The Petra News Agency says Prime Minister Samir Rifai is retaining the post he assumed nearly a year ago.
No other details were immediately available.
Monday's reshuffle precedes the inauguration of the newly elected 120-seat parliament, scheduled for Sunday.
Abdullah will outline his policies in a speech to lawmakers.
Pro-government politicians won a majority of parliamentary seats in the Nov. 9 election. The result ensures Abdullah will encounter little opposition to his central foreign policy goals: continuing his strong alliance with the United States and limiting criticism of Israel for its stalled negotiations with the Palestinians.
