AFP AND AP , AQABA, JORDANAND TABUK, SAUDI ARABIA

Reports at the time suggested the two discussed what role Saudi Arabia might play in reaching out to Iraq's Sunni minority as conditions in that country deteriorate.

The White House sees Saudi Arabia as a cornerstone ally in its campaign to isolate Iran and curtail Tehran's nuclear program, which Washington says is a cover for efforts to build an atomic arsenal. Iran denies the charge.

Cheney is also set to hold talks with Jordanian King Abdullah II before heading back to the US.
