US Secretary Of State Praises Masrour Barzani And Supports A Strong And Stable Kurdistan
The US State Department commended Kurdistan Regional Prime Minister Masrour Barzani for settling contracts with US companies, affirming Washington's strong support for the Kurdistan Region as a cornerstone of the relationship with Iraq.
This came during a meeting between Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Barzani on Friday (May 23) in Washington, D.C., where they discussed opportunities to enhance trade and investment between the United States and the Kurdistan Region, according to a statement by State Department Spokesperson Tammy Bruce issued this morning (May 24).
Rubio praised Barzani's steps to expand natural gas production through settling contracts with US companies, considering this step to enable Iraq to move closer to energy independence. The two sides also stressed the importance of protecting the rights of religious and ethnic minorities in Iraq and Syria.
This meeting follows the signing of two major contracts in Washington, worth $110 billion, between the Ministry of Natural Resources in the region and the companies Western Zagros and HKN Energy, which were attended by Prime Minister Barzani on May 19.
For its part, the Iraqi Oil Ministry announced its rejection of these contracts, to which Barzani commented, "We hope these positions will be reviewed in a way that serves the interests of all Iraqis. The more flexibility Baghdad shows, the clearer our good intentions and shared endeavors will become." https://www.radionawa.com/all-detail.aspx?jimare=41901

...they tell us the Arab Summit was a success and Iraq once again takes a major role in the middle east.But if they are to be a leader than where is their currency? It certainly is not yet a currency of a leading country.
Article: “46 IRAQI BUSINESS LEADERS PARTICIPATED IN THE INVESTMENT SUMMIT IN WASHINGTON.”
...The US Embassy in Baghdad said in a statement:
“A delegation of 46 business leaders from Iraq, including the Kurdistan Region, arrived in the United States to participate in the annual Select USA Investment Summit, which was held in the Washington, D.C., area from May 11 to 14.”
So, does the US want to help move Iraq along? Has the U.S. under the Trump administration changed its foreign policy to one of strong leadership to help move the reforms ahead in Iraq?
It certainly appears that way. The time of the reset is nearing. They must now move this along….

During His Meeting With Two US Senators, The Foreign Minister Said: Iraq Is Working Rapidly To Achieve Self-Sufficiency And Energy Independence
Saturday, May 24, 2025, | Politics Number of readings: 115 Baghdad / NINA / Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Fuad Hussein affirmed that Iraq is working at an accelerated pace to achieve self-sufficiency and independence in the field of energy.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement: "The Minister met with two members of the US Senate, Independent Senator from Maine Angus King, and Republican Senator from Oklahoma James Lankford. During the meeting, a number of issues of common interest were discussed.
The two senators congratulated Iraq on the success of hosting the recent Arab Summit in Baghdad, and stressed that they had noticed a significant improvement in the level of stability within the country."
The Minister stressed that Iraqi-American relations are strategic relations that extend from partnership in the war on terrorism, to cooperation in reconstruction, and enhancing stability in the region, in addition to other vital areas including the energy and education sectors, noting Iraq's aspiration to expand the horizons of these relations, and increase the presence of American companies to benefit from promising investment opportunities, and contribute to construction and development efforts.
The Minister affirmed that Iraq is working at an accelerated pace to achieve self-sufficiency and energy independence by investing in associated gas, enhancing electricity interconnection projects with neighboring countries, and exploring new gas fields.
This will make it a gas-producing country, in addition to being a major oil producer. In this context, he called on specialized American companies to invest in this strategic sector.
He pointed out that Iraq is preparing to hold its sixth legislative elections in November of this year, which reflects the consolidation of the democratic experience among the population and contributes to achieving stability and reconstruction.
At the same time, he expressed his regret that a number of Western countries continue to classify Iraq as a high-risk country in travel advisories for their citizens. This negatively impacts the entry opportunities for foreign companies and hinders the development of tourism and cultural exchange.
On the other hand, the two sides affirmed that the terrorist organization ISIS continues to pose a major threat to countries in the region and the world alike, emphasizing the importance of unifying international efforts to eliminate it and prevent its return.
They also discussed developments in the ongoing negotiations between the United States and Iran, agreeing that dialogue is the best way to resolve outstanding issues, achieve stability, and avoid slipping into escalation and confrontation.
In conclusion, the two sides affirmed their support for a political process in Syria that ensures the establishment of a comprehensive democratic process that expresses the aspirations of the Syrian people and leads to the formation of an elected government that represents the various components of society and preserves their rights. /End https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?key=1228777
