His Majesty King Abdullah on Wednesday said the US-proposed international Mideast peace conference should come up with an action plan and a fixed timetable for implementation.

During a meeting with visiting Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, the King stressed the need for a clear timetable and an action plan to guarantee the success of the conference.

During the meeting, King Abdullah urged intensified efforts to bring the Palestinians and Israelis back to the negotiating table and revive the peace process, calling for talks to start over final status issues as soon as possible.

The King reiterated Jordan's support at all levels to Abbas in his efforts to consolidate national Palestinian institutions, revitalize the Palestinian economy and ease the harsh living conditions of the Palestinians.

King Abdullah also acquainted the Palestinian leader with the outcome of his recent visit to Canada and the US, and efforts he exerted during his meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Bush and top administration officials to rally political and economic support for the Palestinians.
