Among the issues discussed were finding a way forward with the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), the formation of the new government, and the Kirkuk issue, according to the party spokesperson Latif Sheikh Omar.

“We will reveal the details of the political project to the Kurdistan Democratic Party’s negotiating delegation,” Omar said, referencing a three-part package that the party had prepared during the meeting.

No official meetings have been held between the PUK and the KDP since the February 18 meeting about the formation of the Kurdistan Regional Government’s new cabinet, NRT reported.

Talks between the KDP and the PUK broke down after the latter boycotted a session of parliament on February 18, during which a speaker and two deputy speakers were elected.

The PUK later announced that negotiations had entered a new phase and that the party would adopt a “different stance” with regard to its position on the Kurdistan Region’s presidency in talks with the KDP.

Sheikh Omar said last week that his party would not attend future sessions of parliament, nor would it agree to join the new government, until a comprehensive political agreement is signed with the KDP.
