Feb, (UN) – Recent political developments in Iraq
topped the agenda of a meeting in Baghdad this week
between the senior United Nations envoy to the
country and the Kurdistan Region President.
Secretary-General Kofi Annan’s Special
Representative, Ashraf Qazi, and President Masoud
Barzani on Tuesday reviewed the December election
results, the Constitutional review process and the
formation of the new Iraqi Government, according to
the UN Assistance Mission in Iraq (UNAMI).
Welcoming the UN’s assistance, Mr. Barzani stressed
the need for continued active engagement. In
response, Mr. Qazi pledged that the UN would “stay
the course in Iraq,” UNAMI said.
Mr. Qazi also congratulated Mr. Barzani on a recent
agreement which paves the way for a single
administration in the Kurdish region, calling it “an
important development in institution-building.”
