Baghdad and Erbil agree to close illicit crossings
The federal government in Baghdad and the Kurdistan Region have reached a strategic agreement to regulate the borders and close unofficial crossings used for smuggling, with a focus on enhancing security and intelligence coordination between the two sides. The agreement, which includes approximately 17 points, involves establishing a committee to survey and develop border crossings and eliminate illegal crossings, as well as increasing the deployment of border guard forces and coordinating operations to combat terrorism and drug trafficking. This accord comes after discussions with the leader of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Masoud Barzani, aimed at strengthening shared border security, achieving security sovereignty, and unifying authority over the borders, with readiness to activate joint measures and achieve tangible progress in regional security and stability.
