Iraqi PM announces ‘historic’ deal with Iraqi Kurdistan

TEHRAN, Sep. 25 (MNA) – Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani on Thursday announced that his government has reached a "historic agreement" with the Kurdistan Region to resume Kurdish oil exports, which have been suspended since 2023. 

“Today we reached a historic agreement under which the Federal Ministry of Oil will receive crude oil produced from the fields in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq and export it through the Iraq–Türkiye pipeline. This ensures fair distribution of wealth, diversification of export outlets, and encouragement of investment. An achievement 18 years in the making,” Sudani said on X. 

The statement comes days after the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and most of the international oil companies operating in the Region announced that they had reached an agreement with Baghdad to resume the Kurdish oil exports though Turkey-Iraq Pipeline.
