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
The State Bank of Vietnam continues to manage the currency tightly allowing only gradual movements...
The VND is expected to see a modest depreciation potentially reaching 26,940 per dollar by year end.
This is driven by continues US dollar strength, US tariffs on Vietnamese exports and Vietnam's strategy to maintain export competitiveness through a slightly weaker dong.
In other words it is a financial strategy for Vietnam to keep its currency low. Let's hope Iraq does not develop the same habit.
