The Iraqi Oil Ministry has called for a meeting on Tuesday with the Kurdistan region’s Ministry of Natural Resources and international companies operating there in Baghdad to expedite the resumption of oil exports through Turkey's port of Ceyhan. The meeting is aimed at reaching an agreement to restart production and resume exports as soon as possible.
