The KDP leadership convened on Oct. 30 to assess the outcome
 of the two rounds of peace talks held in Aug. and Sep. in Ireland 
under the US auspices.
Although the Dublin talks made limited progress towards reaching
 an agreement  due to regression and reinterpretation of the Drogheda 
Agreement of principles signed by all the participants on Aug. 11,1995, by the 
other party, the KDP views the US effort as a process that has accomplished 
a significant achievement.

The KDP leadership appreciate the US government in Kurdish peace process
 and recognizes that the US effort is aimed at helping the KDP and PUK to
 reconcile their differences and achieve a comprehensive agreement.
There is no ulterior motive in the Kurdish peace talks that undermines
 the unity of Iraq or the security and territorial integrity of neighboring countries.

The KDP leadership has resolved to continue to work to complete a workable and
verifiable agreement based on the Drogheda Agreement of principles. 
The KDP goal in these talks is a wise outcome reached efficiently and amicably 
on the basis of principle and establishing lasting peace.

The KDP reaffirms its commitment to the US peace initiative to bring about peace
and stability in Iraqi Kurdistan
