Shafaq News- Erbil
Kurdish President Nechirvan Barzani congratulated Iraqi
Prime Minister Ali Faleh Al-Zaidi on Friday, after parliament approved the new
federal government, expressing hope that the cabinet would mark a new phase of
stability and progress for Iraq.
In a statement, Barzani wished Al-Zaidi and his ministerial
team success. He also renewed Erbil’s readiness to work jointly with Baghdad “based
on the constitution, true partnership, and balance” to resolve outstanding
disputes and protect the constitutional rights of all Iraqi components, adding
that cooperation and national unity remain essential to overcoming the
country’s challenges.
“Iraq is a rich country with great potential, and Iraqis of
all backgrounds deserve a dignified life, better services, and lasting security
and stability,” he said.
Iraq’s parliament voted on May 14 to grant confidence to
Al-Zaidi’s government and its ministerial program, approving 14 ministers while
postponing votes on nine ministries until after the Eid Al-Adha, expected on May 27,
holiday due to ongoing political disagreements.
