The spokesman for the Kurdistan Regional Government, Peshwa Hawrami, announced on Friday, January 10, 2025, that the Kurdistan Regional Government will hold an extraordinary meeting tomorrow, Saturday, to discuss the issue of the Kurdistan Region’s financial dues.
“Tomorrow at 10:00, the Kurdistan Regional Government will hold an extraordinary cabinet meeting, attended by the Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Region and his deputy, Kurdish ministers in the federal government, representatives of the regional government in Baghdad, and heads of Kurdish blocs in the Iraqi parliament, to discuss the issue of salaries and financial dues to the Kurdistan Region from the federal government,” Hawrami said in a brief statement, a copy of which was received by Al-Jabal.
