The head of Türkiye’s National Intelligence Organization (MIT) Ibrahim Kalin and Bafel Jalal Talabani, leader of the PUK, held closed-door talks on Wednesday in northern Iraq.
During the meeting in Sulaymaniyah province, Kalin and Talabani discussed developments and underlined the importance of regional stability, according to a statement by the PUK.
They also exchanged views on the process of a “terror-free Türkiye,” and Talabani reaffirmed the PUK’s support for the success of the historic step.
“We continue our efforts following the path of President Mam Jalal so that this important and fateful step succeeds, with the aim of prevailing coexistence and achieving a comprehensive peace that serves the interest of the security and tranquility of the entire Middle East,” Talabani was quoted in the statement.
Türkiye has entered a new era of unity and strength following the disarmament of the PKK terror organisation last year, ending a 47-year terror campaign.
Kalin and Talabani also emphasised the need to develop mutual relations within the framework of protecting interests.
