Jordanian Prime Minister Marouf Bakhet reiterated on Wednesday the Kingdom's support to Iraq's current political process and the reconciliation project among Iraqi people which ensures the unity of Iraq, the official news agency Petra reported. Bakhet made the remarks during a meeting with visiting Iraqi Vice President Tariq al-Hashimi, who arrived in Amman Tuesday on a several-day visit for talks with senior Jordanian officials. Bakhet said Iraq and Jordan have "historical relations" and they should sustain consultation and coordination for the mutual interests of both countries and Arab national security. Al-Hashimi, on his part, called for Jordan's support to help Iraqi government forge ahead with national reconciliation projects and stop Iraqi bleeding. "Iraq needs a new vision in handling the crisis," al-Hashimi said, adding that it is necessary to rebuild and impose security and stability in Iraq. The Iraqi plight will persist till those who interfere in the Iraqi internal affairs stop their interference, the Iraqi Vice President noted, pointing out that this interference harms the Arab national security and a unified Arab stance should be formed to face this interference. The meeting also touched bilateral relations between the two countries, according to Petra. (Xinhua News Agency October 19, 2006)
