Hawrami said that Al-Sudani indicated that the issue of salaries of the region's employees was settled by a decision of the Federal Court, and we should not face any problems in this regard. According to Hawrami, "The meeting also discussed the issue of resuming oil exports, as the Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Regional Government called for involving the third party (oil companies) in the dialogue, to be the judge in clarifying the expenses of extracting oil and reaching a final agreement," noting that "stopping the export of Kurdistan's oil has harmed the Iraqi state treasury," stressing that "Al-Sudani was positive in his response regarding this issue." Regarding the population census, Hawrami indicated that the fate of the Kurdish regions is one of the most important issues that receives the attention of the Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Regional Government, who stressed the separation of the population census file, and it must be resolved based on the constitution, noting that the Kurdistan Regional Government received assurances from the federal government in this regard.
