Iraq's council of ministers on Sunday approved a package of reform measures, including cancelling the positions of vice president and deputy prime minister, spokesman Saad al-Hadithi told Reuters. Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi proposed the initiative on Sunday as part of a push to improve state finances and reduce corruption. The measures also require parliamentary approval.
