The president of Iraqi Kurdistan region, Masoud Barzani, visited Baghdad on Sunday for the first time in more than two years, Reuters reported. The visit follows an equally rare trip by Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki who met Barzani in Kurdistan last month. "The main thing the (Iraqi) prime minister and the Kurdistan region's president will discuss is how to activate the committees they agreed to form last time, and decide the mechanisms by which these committees work," Maliki's media adviser, Ali al-Moussawi, said. The last time Barzani was in Baghdad was in 2010, during protracted negotiations that eventually produced the "Arbil agreement", according to a report of Reuters.
