“The two delegations agreed to resolve all disagreements and pay the foreign oil companies working in Kurdistan based on the budget law,” Shawish’s office said in a statement.
“The two sides agreed to continuing oil exports from the region through the Iraqi oil pipeline and to work to increase production to 200,000 barrels per day as a first stage.”
