His Majesty King Abdullah told Iraqi Vice President Tareq Hashemi at a meeting that Iraqis should work together to restore security and stability.

"The security situation in Iraq has reached a dangerous point and demands that the Iraqi people set aside their differences and forge ahead on the path of rebuilding security and stability," the King said.

Iraq's Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds should join hands to achieve such goals and "avoid Iraq falling prey to chaos and foreign ambitions”, King Abdullah said.

Hashemi, who was in Jordan on his return home from trips to the United States and Britain, also discussed with King Abdullah the new US strategy to contain violence in Iraq.
