CANBERRA (AFP) - Iraq's foreign minister on Monday urged US-led coalition forces not to "cut and run" from the strife-torn country as he paid a surprise visit to Australia.

The United States, Britain and Australia should stand by Iraq during "these critical times," Hoshyar Zebari told a joint news conference with Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer.

"We all see the pressures building up in Washington in London, in Europe, here, but I think this not a time to cut and run," he said.
