His Majesty King Abdullah on Monday held talks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who outlined the outcome of his meeting with US President George W. Bush.

Talks also covered other developments in the Middle East peace process and efforts to find a just solution to the conflict, as Palestinians seek to enter into final status negotiations with the Israelis.

King Abdullah and President Abbas, who hold frequent one-on-one meetings to consult over developments in the decades-old Palestinian-Israeli conflict, reiterated in their meeting keenness to sustain coordination regarding the forthcoming conference.

The King pointed out the need for confidence-building measures to be taken by Israel to support the PA. Tel Aviv is also required to set a clear-cut agenda for the negotiations over a final solution, His Majesty added.

In remarks to the press following the meeting, Abbas said he would meet with the King again after his Wednesday meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.
