BAGHDAD (CNN) -- Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and President Bush talked Friday via closed-circuit satellite TV about security in Baghdad and the rest of the country.

According to a statement about the discussion from al-Maliki's office:

Al-Maliki stressed that the recent security effort to impose law has achieved impressive successes in its early days and the government will deal with every lawbreaker in a firm manner, regardless of affiliation.

He also praised the ongoing cooperation between the Iraqi and coalition security forces carrying out the security plan in Baghdad.

The prime minister noted the key role played by tribal leaders in Anbar province to confront al Qaeda in Iraq. He said the government will provide support to these tribes as they try to eliminate insurgents from Iraq and work to restart the process of rebuilding the province.

Bush renewed his support for al-Maliki, saying he is filling a leadership role at a sensitive juncture in Iraq. Support will be provided to ensure the success of al-Maliki's plans, Bush said.
