Jordan's King Abdullah has returned from Baghdad, where he met with
Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki.
He was the first Arab head of
state to visit Iraq since the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003. The
Iraqi premier's office said the two leaders discussed improving
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-ravaged
country.
