Kurdistan Delegation to Visit Baghdad for Government-Formation Talks

A high-level delegation from the Kurdistan Region is due to arrive in Baghdad today for negotiations on the formation of a new government of Iraq.

MP Mohammed Amin Faris confirmed to BasNews that the delegation is made up of representatives of political parties of the Kurdistan Region.

They will attend a meeting with Iraqi PM-designate Mohammed Allawi to reiterate that the Kurdistan Region should be given the right to nominate its representatives for the new cabinet in Baghdad.

Allawi is named by the Iraqi president as the new prime minister. He is in talks with Iraqi and Kurdish factions to help the formation of a new government while the country is struggling with months-long anti-government protests.
