Jordan's King Abdullah II on Wednesday left for Saudi Arabia where he will hold talks with Saudi King Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz on bilateral ties and means of further cementing them in various fields.
According to Jordan's official news agency Petra, the talks during the several-hour visit are also expected to focus on the latest developments in the Middle East, mainly the situation in the Palestinian lands and Lebanon.
Abdullah's visit to Saudi Arabia comes within his continued consultation and contacts with Arab leaders on ways of addressing challenges facing the Arab nations, said Petra.
Later this week, Abdullah is scheduled to start a visit to the United States during which he is expected to urge the U.S. President George W. Bush to put pressure on Israel to show more cooperation in its current talks with the Palestinians.
