Obama and Abdullah plan to discuss mutual ties, said White House spokesman Robert Gibbs on Sunday, adding that Obama was looking forward to a meeting with the 86-year-old monarch for talks on a wide range of issues, including regional and global matters.

Abdullah also plans to visit Paris, where he is to meet French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who has invited him to be a foreign guest of honor at the July 14th Bastille Day celebrations.
