The Patriotic Union of Kurdistan confirmed, today, Wednesday, the support of the government of Muhammad al-Sudani in passing the oil and gas law during the coming period, while stressing that the law will impose control and management of the central government on the file of oil and gas extraction and export.

And he continued, "The law will guarantee the distribution of wealth to all segments of society without monopolizing it from a certain side without the other of the Iraqi people," stressing that "the National Union is a major supporter of the government of Muhammad Shia'a al-Sudani in passing the oil and gas law."
