Jordan stands for an independent and territorially integrated Iraq, King Abdullah II said in Amman on Thursday.

Jordan will stand by the Iraqi people in their bid to rebuild their war-stricken country, and to maintain its sovereignty and territorial integrity, Abdullah told visiting Iraqi Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari.

The king condemned terrorist attacks in Iraq, calling for all Iraqi parties to join in the political process to rebuild the country under a constitution endorsed in last week's referendum.

For his part, Jaafari spoke highly of Jordan's efforts in help restoring Iraq's security.

The two leaders agreed that Jordan and Iraq should further strengthen their cooperation in various fields, especially in economy and trade, for the benefit of people in both countries.

Jaafari arrived in Amman Thursday for a two-day visit, his first since assuming the post earlier this year.
