According to the information obtained by BasNews, the delegation will attempt to increase KRG’s share from the federal budget. Baghdad has granted Erbil 12% of the budget while, according to the constitution of Iraq, the Kurds should receive 17%.
The special budget for Peshmerga forces of Kurdistan, who are part of Iraq’s armed forces structure, is also on the agenda.
It comes a day after Erbil and Baghdad reached a milestone agreement to resume the oil exports from the disputed province of Kirkuk.
Following of a period of political deadlock in the relations between Erbil and Baghdad, the sides seem now to make progress in restoring close cooperations, especially in the field of economy and energy.
