Jordon to train Iraqi police

"Jordan announced yesterday that it would train 30,000 Iraqi police and troops, the first such pledge of aid from an Arab country in support of the American-led reconstruction effort in Iraq."

"...Abdullah also hinted at considerable Jordanian involvement in attempts to revive the Iraqi economy and to rebuild the infrastructure. Iraq is Amman's main trading partner.

"The Jordanian private sector has had a long and productive relationship with Iraqi companies," he said. "The knowledge and expertise that they command in Iraq can be tapped in the efforts aimed at reconstruction in Iraq.

"We would like a sustainable and mutually beneficial relationship to be established, underpinned by strong private sector co-operation."

"The Jordanian monarch underlined the importance of his country in the war against terrorism. 'Jordan and other Arab and Islamic countries are committed to fighting terrorism and do play a significant role in the global alliance against terror,' he said."
