According to the official website of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), Barzani met with Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi and his accompanying delegation who visited Erbil on Monday, March 14. Yesterday's missile attack on Erbil was the main focus of the talks, and the two sides stressed that the attack was a serious threat and a clear violation of Iraqi sovereignty, and that it threatened the security and stability of all Iraqis.
Kadhimi stressed that Iraq was seriously concerned about the missile attack on Erbil and had come to Erbil to be on the side of the region, making the trip in support of the autonomous region in the north, and expressed hope that if there were any problems, it would be solved through understanding.
Barzani also stressed that there are no Israeli centers and bases in the Kurdistan region and called the reports in this regard as baseless justification.
He described Kadhimi's visit to Erbil as a sign of his support for the region, stressing that the region has always been and will continue to be a factor of stability, and that he attaches special importance to Iraq's relations with other countries.
The two sides stressed on the need for joint cooperation and announced that they would announce the results of the Erbil-Baghdad Joint Committee's investigation into the recent attack on Erbil to the public.
Twelve rockets were fired at Erbil on Sunday, and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps announced that it had fired them to target Israeli bases in Erbil.
