Jordan's King Abdullah II on Wednesday held talks with Iraqi
President Jalal Talabani who just finished a two-week medical
treatment at Al Hussein Medical Center in Amman, the official Petra
news agency reported.
The king said that Iraq had to restore stability in order to
play its vital role in the region.
He called for support for efforts to achieve national
reconciliation in Iraq and ensure participation of all the parties
of the Iraqi society in the political process.
Talabani, for his part, expressed thanks to the king and medical
staff for their efforts to give him "distinguished medical
treatment."
He also reviewed efforts to stabilize Iraq, including an
international conference held in Baghdad last Saturday aimed at
seeking ways to quell violence in the war-torn country.
The two leaders also discussed an Arab summit scheduled for
March 28-29 in the Saudi capital of Riyadh, Petra said.
They termed the summit as an important step toward activating
coordination and consultation and enhancing solidarity among Arab
countries, it said.
Talabani flew into Amman on Feb. 25 after doctors diagnosed him
as suffering from fatigue and dehydration.
