On Tuesday, a senior PUK delegation convened with its allied parties for the second time this month. Bafel Jalal Talabani, President of the PUK, stressed the need to unite efforts to form a national government that will lead to greater stability in the country, and the need to work in the framework of the constitution and the public interest.

All political forces and parties should participate in the new Iraqi government and put their differences at the service of achieving higher goals if they want to build a peaceful, prosperous and developed country; this is the right and wise policy that the PUK is working to achieve, Talabani added.

The Coordination Framework, which includes the PUK, called on all influential forces in the political arena to participate in the talks and expressed its readiness to negotiate with all parties, believing that the next government must be a strong and capable government that provides services.

PUK's visit comes after Sadr's parliamentary bloc all resigned in a move, Sadr called "opens the way to form the next government."
