[Karwan Jamal Tahir @karwanTahir]

Today in London, Head of @KRG_DFR Minister @SafeenDizayee & I met with Dr Rob Dixon, the new Director for the Middle East and North Africa at @FCDOGovUK, & David Hunt to discuss #KRG-#UK relations.

Key topics included regional security, the formation of the new Iraqi cabinet, and securing the constitutional financial rights of the #KurdistanRegion.

Both sides expressed serious concern over ongoing drone attacks against the Kurdistan Region, reaffirming support to ensure stability for the Region, Iraq, and the wider Middle East.

[Karwan Jamal Tahir @karwanTahir]

I had a productive exchange with @DavidHuntFCDO, the Head of the Iraq and Yemen Department, and the Iraq team at @FCDOGovUK regarding bilateral relationships and further cooperation, current political developments, and a wide range of issues, including the resumption of oil exports and ways to further promote economic ties.

We both agreed to further strengthen the longstanding ties between the UK and #KRI.
