With my colleague Sherko Sharif, Advisor on Water Policy, I had an interesting and timely discussion with Lukáš Gjurič, the Czech Republic Consul General @CZinErbil. We discussed a range of water and climate change related issues with an eye on Czech-Kurdistan trade relations and exchange of know how.
The EU member states‘ consuls general met yesterday with H. E. Mr. Safeen Dizai, Head of the KRG Dept. of Foreign Relations, to thank him for the DFR’s support to our missions during the recent security crisis and to discuss the challenges and opportunities ahead
It was my pleasure to meet Mr. Haidar Maulwed, CEO of @varamachinery and a prominent Kurdish Iraqi businessman whose import of high-quality construction and agricultural machinery from Czechia has made a mark across Iraq.
Thankful for an inspiring discussion with H. E. the Deputy Prime Minister of the KRG Mr. Qubad Talabani on the Kurdistan Region’s economic achievements and aspirations, and its place in an evolving Iraq and region.

Arazu Barawi (left) is an impressive ecotourism activist & entrepreneur, whose workshop & art gallery in the Erbil Citadel was a joy to visit. Looking fwd to the majestic Citadel’s full reopening after restoration; activities like Ms. Arazu’s will help bring it to sparkling life!
Czechia has contributed substantially to the military struggle against Daesh. We are proud that even as we enter the final year of the OIR operation on Iraq’s soil, two Czech Army experts, Maj. Kovačičin and Maj. Křenek, continue to serve in advisory roles to Peshmerga partners.
A profound, illuminating discussion on successes and challenges for human rights in the Kurdistan Region – with Terza Jaff, @QassimKhidhir and @HoshyarMalo, who joined the Czech Consulate today for our annual Human Rights Breakfast. Thank you!
And today, a warm welcome also from H. E. Mr. Nechirvan Barzani @IKRPresident, President of the Kurdistan Region. Thank you, Mr. President, for sharing your thoughts on the challenging but hopeful prospects for Kurdistan, Iraq, and the wider region.
2/2 I stressed Czechia condemns yesterday’s criminal, destructive attack on gas facilities in Khor Mor, and hopes for undeterred progress toward full security and rule of law in Iraq, which we actively support as a member of the EU and NATO.
