Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah turned down a request to meet with Iraq’s Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, Baghdad’s foreign minister said on Sunday, denying that the refusal was an outright snub.The Washington Post reported on Sunday that Abdullah refused to receive Maliki before the regional summit on Iraq security, which is set for next week, because the Sunni leader is skeptical of Maliki’s Shiite government. Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, however, said the report was “not true,” although he acknowledged a requested visit had been denied. “The Saudi king’s schedule was not suitable at this time,” Zebari told CNN. “They [the Saudis] did not decline it but they said the king has an internal tour which he does occasionally. So we couldn’t agree on the timing,” he said.
