Libya's Tobruk-backed army chief Khalifa Haftar arrived in Jordan on Sunday for a visit to the Hashemite kingdom.

The visit comes at an invitation from Jordanian King Abdullah II, the Tobruk-run news agency reported.

Haftar, who had served in the army under late strongman Muammar Gaddafi, was sworn in as army chief by the Tobruk-based parliament in February.
