His Majesty King Abdullah and US President George W. Bush on Monday explored means to enhance Jordanian-US relations and regional peace.

During a phone call, the two leaders discussed efforts under way to move the Middle East peace process forward, as well as ongoing preparations for the international meeting, called for by the president.

King Abdullah underlined the significant role the US could play in bringing the Palestinians' and the Israelis' views closer and in cementing the trust between the two sides.
