On Tuesday, a meeting took place between the Ministry of Peshmerga and the military advisory team for the coalition forces in the Kurdistan Region. The Minister of Peshmerga, who chaired the meeting, confirmed the ongoing progress of the reform process within the ministry.

During the meeting, Shorsh Ismail, the peshmerga Minister, expressed that the reforms implemented in the Ministry of Peshmerga are a significant and serious process. "Significant milestones have been achieved and are currently ongoing with the assistance of our allies in the international coalition. Our objective is to establish a robust and cohesive national force," he added.

The Minister of Peshmerga expressed concern regarding the obstacles encountered by several infantry brigades and regiments within the Ministry of Peshmerga, where they have been deprived of material assistance from the coalition due to security and technical issues. Ismail emphasised the urgent need to address these problems promptly and implement necessary changes with the joint effort and support of all parties involved to ensure that the brave Peshmerga fighters can benefit from the monthly aid provided.
