According to a statement issued by the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), the Prime Minister will meet the Prime Minister of the Federal Government, Mustafa Al-Kadhimi, in addition to several senior officials in Baghdad.

The visit aims to focus on the constitutional solution to the outstanding problems between the Kurdistan Region and the Federal Government, the foremost of which is the oil and gas dossier.

Khadimi’s initiative to hold talks with Barzani comes in response to Barzani’s letter to US President Joe Biden regarding the outstanding problems between Baghdad and Erbil.
