US Secretary of State John Kerry on Saturday traveled to Saudi Arabia for talks with King Salman expected to focus on the four-year-old conflict in Syria, AFP reports.

Kerry flew in to Riyadh from Amman where he held separate talks with Jordan's King Abdullah II and Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas on PA-Israeli unrest.

He first went into talks with Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir before heading out to Dhiraya Farm, the king's country residence. US diplomats said the evening talks between Kerry and the Saudi monarch would focus on the Syria war.
