Русская версияJordan's King Abdullah has arrived in Baghdad for a meeting with
Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki.
He's the first Arab head of
state to visit Iraq since the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime in
2003. An official statement from the Iraqi premier's office said
the two leaders had discussed ways ''to improve bilateral relations
in all fields". In June, Maliki visited Amman to renew a 2006 deal
to sell discounted oil to its neighbour, which relies on Iraq for
most of its fuel needs. Jordan also hosts over 500,000 Iraqi
refugees who have fled violence in their war-torn country.
