Baghdad  - Jordan's King Abdullah II Tuesday postponed a visit to Iraq that was due on Wednesday, an Iraqi government spokesman said Tuesday.

The visit was postponed owing to the king's personal commitments, Ali al-Dabagh told the Voices of Iraq news agency.

He would have been the first Arab leader to visit Iraq since the US-led invasion in 2003. A date of the rescheduled visit was not immediately set. (dpa)
