King to visit Vatican City, France on Tuesday

16 December 2017

His Majesty King Abdullah is scheduled to meet on Tuesday with Pope Francis during a visit to Vatican City.

Discussions will cover the developments related to Jerusalem, after the United States’ decision to recognise the city as Israel’s capital and move the US embassy there.

From Vatican City, King Abdullah will head to Paris, where His Majesty will hold talks with President Emmanuel Macron on the latest developments in the Middle East, especially the issue of Jerusalem.
