Ramallah, Muharram 21, 1434, Dec 5, 2012, SPA - Jordanian King Abdullah II is set to visit Ramallah for talks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Thursday, said the Jordanian ambassador to the Palestinian National Authority. The King will be the first foreign head of state to visit the West Bank since the United Nations voted last week to upgrade the Palestinians' status at the United Nations to that of "non-member state." Ambassador Awwad Sarhan told the Ma'an news agency that the Jordanian King would offer his congratulations on the successful UN appeal. --SPA 12:00 LOCAL TIME 09:00 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/1055717
