"Jordan and Spain has agreed on intensifying contacts during coming weeks in order to find a political solution to the crisis inthe region," Muasher told reporters.

For his part, Palatheo said Iraq should not only cooperate closely with the United Nations, but uncover all weapons of mass destruction to avoid a possible war against it.

As for the Palestinian-Israeli issue, the two ministers stressedthat there is a close link between the Iraqi issue and the Middle East peace process and called for "a tangible program to secure peace in the region."
