AMMAN – His Majesty King Abdullah on Friday received a telephone call from US President Barack Obama during which the two leaders reviewed bilateral ties and Middle East peace efforts, according to a statement by the Royal Court.
The statement said Obama praised efforts by His Majesty King Abdullah to support regional stability and the cause of peace in the Middle East.
It added that the King briefed the US president on the outcome of Palestinian-Israeli meetings hosted by Jordan on Tuesday in the presence of representatives of the Middle East Quartet, comprising the US, the EU, Russia and the United Nations.
The King said talks he is scheduled to have with Obama in the middle of this month in Washington will constitute a chance to exchange views on the future of the Middle East peace process, regional developments and issues of concern to the two countries, the statement concluded.
His Majesty King Abdullah is due to hold talks with US President Barack Obama mid-January, according to official sources.
Talks will focus on bilateral relations in the political and economic fields and prospects of cooperation between the two sides, the sources said.
The two sides will also look into ways to break the stalemate in the Middle East peace process.
Jordan on Tuesday hosted the first Palestinian-Israeli talks in 16 months at the level of chief negotiators.
His Majesty met Obama and senior administration officials in May last year and paid another visit to the US in July, when he took part in the Sun Valley Economic Forum in the state of Idaho.
