King, Saudi heir talk bilateral, regional issues
AMMAN (Petra) — His Majesty King Abdullah on
Tuesday returned after a several-hour visit to Saudi Arabia, where he held talks
with Crown Prince Abdullah on bilateral cooperation and regional issues.
The two leaders urged a unified Palestinian stand and said the Palestinian
Authority and some factions should solve their differences to avoid affecting
the Palestinian cause and rights.
They also reiterated their support for the PA and its efforts to enforce law and
build institutions to serve the Palestinian people.
Both leaders stressed the importance of maintaining the Palestinian-Israeli
truce and warned against destroying the peace process.
On Iraq, the Monarch and Prince Abdullah said Jordan and Saudi Arabia back the
neighbouring country's unity and stability.
During the visit, King Abdullah was reassured on the health of King Fahd,
currently receiving treatment at a Saudi hospital.
Wishing King Fahd a speedy recovery, the Monarch appreciated Saudi Arabia's
assistance to Jordan over the past years.
