JERUSALEM (AA) – Israeli President Isaac Herzog has met with Jordan's King Abdullah II in the Jordanian capital Amman, according to his office on Wednesday.


Herzog’s office, however, did not specify when the meeting exactly took place, only saying that it came upon an invitation from the Jordanian monarch.


“Ahead of US President Joseph R. Biden Jr.'s visit to the Middle East, and as part of diplomatic developments in the region, President Isaac Herzog met this week with His Majesty King Abdullah II at his royal palace in Jordan,” it said in a statement.


“During the warm meeting, held at King Abdullah's invitation, the President and the King discussed deep strategic issues, at both bilateral and regional levels,” it added.


According to the statement, the visit also “addressed the protection of stable Israeli-Jordanian relations and the need for dialogue with all actors in the region.”


There was no comment from the Jordanian authorities on the report.


Biden is scheduled to visit Israel, the West Bank and Saudi Arabia in mid-July.
