Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan
Barzani and British Ambassador to Iraq Irfan Siddiq on Tuesday stressed the
need for closer coordination among Iraqi political forces to advance government
formation and stabilize the political process.
During a meeting in Baghdad, the two
sides reviewed efforts to form a new federal government, as well as Barzani’s
recent talks with Iraqi leaders and the broader trajectory of the country’s
political process. Discussions also covered internal developments in the
Kurdistan Region and the wider regional situation, including the impact of
ongoing tensions.

relations between Baghdad and Erbil.
