Türkiye, Iraq Forge Joint Committees Against PKK, Strengthen Bilateral Ties

During a significant meeting in Baghdad, top officials from Türkiye and Iraq have resolved to collaborate closely by establishing joint committees aimed at counterterrorism and enhancing cooperation across various sectors. This accord, reached on Thursday, signals a notable advancement in the fight against the PKK terror group, which has long occupied areas of northern Iraq near the Turkish border. The agreement also encompasses cooperation in trade, agriculture, energy, water, health, and transportation sectors, aiming to bolster bilateral relations. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and his Iraqi counterpart Fuad Hussein led the delegations in these pivotal discussions.

Strategic Cooperation and Regional Challenges

The meeting not only focused on counterterrorism efforts but also addressed broader regional challenges, including the situation in Gaza. Both parties reaffirmed their support for the Palestinian cause and emphasized the importance of Iraq's political unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity. The presence of the PKK in Iraqi territory was highlighted as a significant security threat to both nations, with Türkiye expressing approval of the Iraqi National Security Council's decision to designate the PKK as a banned organization in Iraq.

Continuing Dialogue and Preparations for a Historic Visit

The discussions in Baghdad are part of an ongoing dialogue that began with previous meetings in Ankara in December of the previous year. These talks have paved the way for drafting a memorandum of understanding to establish a structural framework for relations between the two countries, including regular contact mechanisms. Furthermore, both countries are preparing for Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's visit to Baghdad after the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, marking a significant moment in the strengthening of Türkiye-Iraq relations.

Security Measures and Future Collaborations

Both sides engaged in a detailed discussion on the measures to be taken against the PKK and its affiliates targeting Türkiye from Iraqi territory. By establishing a security zone along the border and transforming Turkish bases in northern Iraq into a security belt, the two nations aim to curb the activities of the PKK within the region. This cooperative stance underscores a unified approach towards regional security and development, setting a precedent for future collaborations between Türkiye and Iraq.

This historic agreement between Türkiye and Iraq not only marks a significant step in counterterrorism efforts but also in fostering a stronger, more cooperative relationship across various sectors. The establishment of joint committees and the emphasis on continued dialogue and cooperation reflect a mutual recognition of the benefits of a unified approach to regional challenges. As both countries look forward to President Erdogan's visit to Baghdad, the implications of this agreement promise to extend beyond security concerns, potentially heralding a new era of bilateral cooperation and regional stability.

Al-Sari: The proposal to amend the electoral law targets the regime… and reveals important details about the 2024 budget {expanded}, 17 MARCH

 Al-Sari: The proposal to amend the electoral law targets the regime… and reveals important details about the 2024 budget {expanded}

The top of the State Powers parliamentary coalition, Faleh Al-Sari, considered the proposition to correct the constituent regulation “focusing on the political framework,” uncovering “significant insights about the 2024 financial plan plans.”

Al-Sari said in a meeting with the Ramadan program {Before Suhoor} broadcast on Al-Furat satellite station after 12 PM, “There is a proposition to correct the political race regulation, and this objectives the political framework and soundness in the political cycle, and we preclude its entry.”
He added, “There is no constituent regulation that ensures various voting public, and Holy person Lego exists inside numerous bodies electorate.”
Concerning financial year of 2024, Faleh Al-Sari, an individual from the Parliamentary Money Board, made sense of, “The 2024 spending plan contains no texts, just tables, dislike the 2023 spending plan, which contains texts.”
That’s what he expressed “the 2024 timetables rely upon the overall portions for 2023, and they vary enormously on the grounds that the volume of incomes and consumptions rely upon last year, and the 2024 spending plan might surpass its past uses and may arrive at 300 trillion dinars, with a distinction of 100 trillion,” taking note of that “costs can be decreased by barring projects, expanding the volume of incomes and conveying Ventures more than quite a while and lessening the hole between the two years,” focusing on that “we have not yet gotten the timetables from the public authority.”
He guaranteed, “The choices of the Government High Court are restricting on all specialists and nobody can abrogate them,” taking note of that “the arrangement in regards to the compensations of workers in the Kurdistan district is to go towards the limitation of the locale’s pay rates, and they say that the imperfection in the parts of the administrative banks in Kurdistan is en route to being tended to.”
That’s what he trusted “the work and execution of the Monetary Management Agency isn’t agreeable, and we gauge it at 70%,” adding that “the escape clause and imperfection in monetary oversight is the absence of reference to the legal executive subsequent to examining the blamed.”
He focused, “The robotization of customs should be initiated as the public authority is doing now, however there is a deterrent from representatives and customs freedom elements – which he didn’t name – that don’t need computerization.”
Al-Sari brought up that “there are extravagance things imported in immense amounts that are not equivalent with the volume of viable spending, and little traditions expenses are paid for their entrance.”
He uncovered, “There was a purposeful separation of the Web at the ports to upset traditions mechanization, and the public authority should strive to defy this harm.”
Al-Sari, who has a place with the Muthanna Governorate, guaranteed the Jumima line crossing in Muthanna with Saudi Arabia that it is “like a fantasy for individuals of the governorate.”
He added, “In a past visit to the {current} Lord of Saudi Arabia, I mentioned the kickoff of the port, and the previous Saudi Unfamiliar Clergyman Adel Jubeir guided me to follow up, and the priest vowed to open the port after the launch of Arar.”
He focused on that “Saudi Arabia vowed to set up the framework for the port and carry out what is expected of it, and this discussion occurred a half year prior,” uncovering the expectation to “structure a designation to visit the port and address the public authority, particularly the Boundary Ports Authority, which has finished its methods in such manner.”
Al-Sari focused on that “there is extraordinary Saudi status to open the port and there will be another financial circumstance for Muthanna,” taking note of that “Muthanna drives the territories in the size of public venture projects.”
That’s what he trusted “Clergyman of Money, Taif Sami, is a lady with the qualities of a man and knows about her work. She has encountered every one of the subtleties of spending plans starting around 2006. She is fruitful in dealing with the financial plan and was more effective in her past situation as Chief General of the Spending plan Division than in the ongoing place of clergyman, considering that she started to take on the political job in the ecclesiastical position.”

I proceed to say, “Yet the inquiry for the Uprightness Commission is: Where could it in circling back to and recuperating cash from Zuhair and other degenerate individuals be? It is despicable that the recuperation sums don’t fit the size of what was taken, regardless of all the legislative and parliamentary help for its work.”
He focused on that “the National Bank of Iraq didn’t prevail with regards to beating the dollar swapping scale emergency.”
