John Kerry … peace efforts

US Secretary of State John Kerry will visit Jeddah on Friday to meet Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah and discuss the crises in Iraq and Syria, Reuters reported.

Addressing a news conference in Brussels on Wednesday, Kerry said: “President Obama has asked me to travel to Saudi Arabia in order to meet with His Majesty King Abdullah and to discuss regional issues, including the situation in Iraq, and how we can counter the shared threat that is posed by ISIL (the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant), as well as to discuss our support for the moderate opposition in Syria.”

Kerry last visited the world’s top oil exporter in late March alongside US President Barack Obama.
