Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is scheduled to undertake a momentous visit to Baghdad, where he will engage in crucial discussions with Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani and other key political figures.

Erdogan's upcoming agenda for the meeting will encompass three pivotal issues of mutual interest and concern, a source told Iraqi media Shafaq News on condition of anonymity.

The topics to be addressed during the deliberations are expected to include effective strategies to counter the challenges posed by the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), seeking amicable solutions to the ongoing water dispute, and exploring possibilities for the resumption of oil exports from the Kurdistan Region through Turkey's Ceyhan port.

The Turkish President's visit to Baghdad reflects the importance both nations attach to finding common ground on critical regional matters. It comes after an earlier meeting between Prime Minister Sudani and Turkish Ambassador Aliriza Guney, where the groundwork was laid for this high-level engagement.

The discussions between Erdogan and Iraqi leadership are anticipated to foster enhanced cooperation and facilitate constructive dialogue, aimed at addressing regional challenges and promoting peace and stability in the area.
