The ministerial committee of the Iraqi Council of Ministers reached no result or decision and ended its meeting.

Yesterday, the ministerial committee held its first meeting, and according to a statement from the Ministry of Planning, chaired by Minister Dr. Mohammed Tamim, the meeting discussed both drafts (of the agreements). However, there was no indication of any agreement or progress.

A well-informed source told Draw Media that during yesterday’s meeting, no agreement or outcome was reached, and there was no consensus on either draft. This is because Baghdad disagreed with one of the key articles in the draft, particularly regarding the handover of oil and the Kurdistan Region's commitment to the federal budget law and decisions of the Federal Supreme Court of Iraq.

Today’s meeting was also cancelled, even though it was scheduled to be completed within 48 hours—meaning the committee was supposed to submit its final report to the Prime Minister of Iraq for a final decision.

In last Tuesday’s meeting of the Iraqi Council of Ministers, a decision was made to form a ministerial committee to resolve the salary and oil dispute. The committee members are:

• Mohammed Tamim – Minister of Planning (Committee Chair)

• Khalid Shwani – Minister of Justice

• Salih Mahdi Hasnawi – Minister of Health

• Bangin Rekani – Minister of Reconstruction

• Naeem Aboudi – Minister of Higher Education
