Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is set to visit Baghdad on Monday, marking his first trip to Iraq since 2011.

The upcoming visit will reportedly address various bilateral matters, spanning from water resources to the supply of natural gas and oil to Turkey.

Of particular interest is Ankara's anticipation to reach an agreement with Baghdad regarding the resumption of operations for the Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline, which has been inactive since March 2023.
