U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has pressed Iraq's Kurdish leaders to work with Sunni Arab and Shi'ite leaders for a unified and democratic country. Rice met Friday in Irbil with Massoud Barzani, the president of Iraq's northern Kurdish autonomus region. She thanked him for the Kurds' long cooperation with the United States. She also urged Barzani to work with the government in Baghdad to resolve the issue of sharing Iraq's oil wealth. Barzani said he was committed to a "democratic Iraq and the federal system." He said he favors fair distribution of revenues for all the Iraqi people.
Rice's visit comes amid increasing tensions in Iraq over the control of the country's oil resources. A substantial portion is in the Kurdish region.
