A high-level delegation from the Iraqi Interior headed by its Minister Yasser Al-Yasiri arrived in Erbil this afternoon.

Al-Yaseri, Minister of Interior of the Kurdistan Region, Reaper Ahmed, and a number of directors of the departments of the ministry.

In addition to Interior Minister Tawfiq al-Yasiri, the delegation includes directors in the departments of nationality, passports, borders and traffic.

It is scheduled to hold on Thursday a round of meetings on joint committees between the two ministries on the work of nationality and passports and administrative and security issues.

This delegation was preceded by a first visit to Erbil on the 25th of last month, including a high-level delegation including Finance Minister Fuad Hussein, Chairman of the Popular Mobilization Authority Faleh Al-Fayyad, Oil Minister Thamer Al-Ghadban and Director of the Office of Prime Minister Abu Jihad Al-Hashemi.

The Baghdad delegation discussed with Kurdistan officials the issue of the budget and oil and other outstanding issues between the two sides, in an attempt to resolve all these problems before the preparations for the approval of the budget next year.

After the formation of his government, the middle of last month Masrour Barzani, a visit to the capital Baghdad, led by a high government delegation, during which he met the three Iraqi presidencies, in what he described his visit as "positive."

These meetings come after a qualitative leap in the relationship between Baghdad and Kurdistan following Twitter following the holding of the independence referendum in late 2017, and the subsequent actions by the federal government.

Overall, there is a positive atmosphere in the relationship between the parties since the formation of the new Iraqi government, and the new government in Kurdistan, as the Kurds feel that Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi does not seek a similar rival to his predecessor, who had a good relationship with Kurdish leaders since the seventies of the last century .
