Shafaq News- Erbil
Iraq’s Prime Minister-designate Ali Faleh al-Zaidi and Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) leader Masoud Barzani on Saturday urged faster progress in forming a new Iraqi government, stressing the need for an administration capable of maintaining stability.
During a meeting in Erbil, both sides pointed to the importance of closer alignment among political forces and the formation of a “strong” cabinet that can support development and respond to public expectations.
Earlier today, al-Zaidi arrived in Erbil with a delegation from the Shiite Coordination Framework (CF) for talks with Kurdish leaders on shaping the next federal government. He is expected to travel next to Al-Sulaymaniyah for discussions with Bafel Talabani, head of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK).
