According to Xandan news website, in the meeting meeting between Sheikh Jangi and Gen. Eric Hill the formation of the new Iraqi government by Prime Minister Mustafa Kazemi was discussed and the two officials traded their views in this regard.

The two sides stressed that the success of the new Iraqi government requires a government to work in favor of the state and its people.

The situation in Iraq and Syria was also discussed, with the two pointing out that the Islamic State (IS) terror is still a major danger to the region, especially since the IS has been able to exploit the effects of the economic crisis and the outbreak of the coronavirus to reorganize its terrorist cells.

General Hill praised the efforts and activities of the anti-terror unit of the PUK, saying the agency has been fighting terror with U.S. forces since 2003 and has played an effective role in confronting terror.

He further expressed the readiness of special units from the International Coalition to work together with the PUK anti-terror forces to establish security and stability in Iraq and the region.
