He reaffirmed Japan’s commitment to continuing to help the Kurdistan Region.

They also discussed the latest visit by a Kurdistan Regional Government delegation to Baghdad and the agreement reached last December between Baghdad and Erbil.
Prime Minister Barzani told the Japanese Ambassador that Baghdad had officially informed the Kurdistan Region that the lack of liquidity in Iraq is the reason that Iraq is unable to send the Kurdistan Region its allocated share from the federal budget as was finalised in the agreement, last December.
The Prime Minister Barzani thanked the Japanese government for having funded several projects in the Kurdistan Region.
