The meeting is expected to make an important decision on how to participate in the new Iraqi cabinet and how to manage the Kurdistan Region by both parties.

The KDP and PUK have held several meetings in Baghdad in the past 10 days, according to Bangin Rekani, a member of the KDP negotiating delegation. The two parties disagree on the post of president, the sixth session of parliamentary elections and the government's financial administration.

While the KDP wants to revive the “united Kurdish front” in Baghdad with the PUK, but just as the first round of negotiations after the October 10, 2021 elections, once again the KDP alone and without the PUK has prepared a draft for negotiations with the parties within the framework of coordination and agreed on most of the provisions of the draft with the Shiites.

The PUK, which was on the front line of the coordination framework parties in the first round of conflicts, according to the information, one of the PUK’s condition in the talks is the post of Kirkuk governor, but the KDP has not yet agreed to this condition.

In the agreement to form the ninth cabinet, the PUK had made it a condition for the KDP to take back the post of governor of Kirkuk, but this condition has not yet been implemented.

Some blame the president, while others say Turkey has not agreed.

Some KDP officials say the current talks between the PUK and the KDP could lead to a new strategic agreement similar to the 2005 agreement.
