Prime Minister Masrour Barzani on Monday met with Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi.

Sunday's terrorist attack on Erbil was discussed, with both sides agreeing that it represented a violation of Iraq’s sovereignty.

Prime Minister Barzani emphasized that the Kurdistan Region has always desired strong relations with neighboring countries based on mutual trust, and that an attack on Erbil is an attack on the stability of Iraq as a whole.

The Iraqi Prime Minister stated that the attack was unacceptable and that Iraq should not become the arena for regional conflict.

The federal supreme court’s recent decision concerning the Kurdish oil and gas industry, and finding effective solutions for the issues, were further topics of the discussion.
