.Jordan says it will send envoy to Iraq
AMMAN, Jordan (AP) - Jordan says it will dispatch an ambassador to Iraq, following the lead of other Arab nations.
State Minister for Information Nasser Judeh told reporters Monday the ambassador will take up his post in Baghdad "in the near future." He declined to divulge the exact date or identify the envoy.
Jordan has a diplomatic mission in Baghdad run by a charge d'affairs. It named an ambassador to Iraq nearly two years ago, but he never assumed his duties because of security concerns.
The United Arab Emirates and Bahrain said last week they will open their embassies in Iraq.
Judeh's remarks came after 10 lawmakers in the 110-member parliament urged the government to refrain from sending an envoy to Iraq.
