                Chinese President Meets with Palestinian Leader

   Chinese President Xi Jinping has taken a step toward his country
   becoming a major player in the Mideast, hosting Palestinian leader
   Mahmoud Abbas, the first visit by a Middle Eastern leader since Mr. Xi
   took office in March.
   After a welcoming ceremony Monday, the two leaders walked into a
   meeting room in the Great Hall of the People.
   Officials say the two discussed bilateral ties, as well as
   international and regional issues of common concern.
   Mr. Abbas will leave China on Tuesday, after which, President Xi is
   scheduled to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, later
   this week.
