On Tuesday, July 13, 2025, Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), Masrour Barzani, chaired a special meeting—attended by Deputy Prime Minister Qubad Talabani—to review the latest developments regarding negotiations with the federal government on salaries and financial entitlements for the citizens of the Kurdistan Region, as well as efforts to expedite the resumption of the Region’s oil exports.
During the meeting, participants stressed the importance of continued cooperation with the federal government to resolve these issues, particularly in light of a unified stance and growing consensus to ensure the disbursement of salaries and financial dues to the Region. These are recognized as legal and constitutional rights of the beneficiaries.
The Kurdistan Regional Government reaffirmed its commitment to joint efforts aimed at ending this crisis, which has unfortunately had a negative impact on the livelihoods of salary recipients and the general public. The KRG emphasized that resolving this issue remains one of its top priorities, and it continues to exert serious and ongoing efforts to reach a solution.
