Jordan'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.
