Prime Minister Masrour Barzani met with Iraqi Minister of Displacement and Migration, Evan Faek.
In the meeting, both sides reviewed current conditions of refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) in host communities and camps across the Kurdistan Region and Iraq, and emphasised the need to facilitate voluntary returns to their ancestral homes.
