His Majesty King Abdullah II has sent
a letter to U.S. President George W. Bush dealing with ways to put an
end to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and realize stability in the region.



In his letter, King Abdullah affirmed Jordan's strong support
to President Bush's vision based on establishing two states to end this
conflict. This the only acceptable way to ensure stability in the region
and achieve security and prosperity to its people, King Abdullah said
in the message.



The King also stressed that Israel's unilateral plan tom withdraw
from Gaza Strip should part of the roadmap peace plan and not an alternative
to this plan. The UN Security Council should also issue a resolution
supporting the establishment of an independent Palestinian state along
with Israeli state, the letter said.



Jordan would save no effort in offering every possible aid to
the Palestinians, said the King, who hoped a joint plan would be reached
with the international community to provide all forms of assistance to
the Palestinian people to help them build their institutions.



King Abdullah will leave for Washington this week for talks with
President Bush and other senior officials as part of the King's efforts
to re-launch the peace process in the region.



Jordan's Ambassador to Washington Karim Kewaar said the King's
visit to the U.S. is certainly crucial at this point in time given the
situation in the region, particularly the chaos in the Palestinian territories
and the deteriorating security in Iraq.



The King's talks in Washington will focus on the most pressing
issues in the region, namely the peace process and especially
Sharon disengagement plan. " We believe the US role in pushing this
process is paramount and much needed at this particular point. We do not
want to feel that we have reached an impasse" Kewaar told Petra correspondent
in Washington.



The King will also discuss the situation in Iraq and highlight Jordan
efforts in the reconstruction process. "We are extremely worried over
the deterioration of the security situation in Iraq and restoring security
in Iraq is a priority to Jordan," he said.



The US and the international community should work together to
preserve Iraq's unity and territorial integrity, the Ambassador noted.
King Abdullah will also brief the U.S. administration on Jordan's
progress in economic, political and social reforms and highlight the
importance Free Trade Agreement with the U.S. that helped increased Jordan's
Jordanian exports to the US to over $650 million last year.



During the visit, King Abdullah will also meet U.S. investors
and businessmen and attend a series of meeting between Jordanian and U.S.
businessmen in California, Kewaar said.
