Today, we honored the memory of the victims of the Ezidi Genocide and reaffirmed that their suffering will never be forgotten. Twelve years after the Genocide, the resilience of our Ezidi sisters and brothers remains a source of strength and pride for all of Kurdistan.
We remember the hundreds of Peshmerga who lost their lives to liberate and protect Sinjar.
We will also continue doing everything we can to support survivors, find and rescue those who are still missing, and help displaced Ezidis return safely and with dignity to their homes.
Delighted to see my friend @BayanRahman in Washington as part of the Iraqi delegation headed by PM Zaidi. The Kurdistan Region continues to play a vital role in advancing stability, peace, and prosperity across Iraq and the wider region.
I hosted Iraqi PM Ali al-Zaidi at the Pentagon today.
To deepen our partnership, Iraq must assert its sovereignty and disarm the Iran-aligned militias responsible for 600+ attacks on U.S. personnel this spring.
The U.S. is also looking to the Iraqi Security Forces, including the Peshmerga and other Iraqi Kurdistan Region security forces, to lead in D-ISIS efforts as the OIR military missions winds down.
A secure Iraq opens the door to strong commercial and defense cooperation.
Erbil’i ziyaret etmekte olan Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Bağdat Büyükelçisi Sayın Anıl Bora İnan, Başbakan Sayın Mesrur Barzani ile görüşerek, ikili işbirliğimizi ve bölgesel gelişmeleri ele almıştır.

Ambassador of the Republic of Türkiye to Baghdad, HE Mr. Anıl Bora İnan, who is visiting Erbil, met with Prime Minister HE Mr. @masrourbarzani to discuss our bilateral cooperation and regional developments.
The KRG’s financial inclusion programme, MyAccount, continues to see steady growth.
This week, nearly 800,000 public sector employees and beneficiaries will be paid through partner banks — that’s nearly $500 million flowing through the financial services sector.
The banked population has now grown significantly too, especially when you consider it was less than 5% before MyAccount.
Deposits across the banking sector have also continued to stabilise above 10%.
Our thanks go to our partner banks for their continued investment in ATM infrastructure, call centres, applications, retail operations and new branches. The banks have now deployed 600 new ATMs in public areas, placing cash access within five minutes of most public sector employees.
We’re especially pleased that satisfaction levels are highest among pensioners, reflecting the programme’s impact on some of the most vulnerable beneficiaries.
Lastly, thanks to MyAccount and the strong team behind it, tens of thousands of banked citizens now pay their electricity bills in seconds through @epsule_payments.

خلال استقبالنا لرئيس مجلس وزراء إقليم كردستان العراق السيد @masrourbarzani ، ومعالي وزير الخارجية الدكتور @Fuad_Husseein ، أكدنا أهمية الالتزام بالدستور العراقي وصون حقوق الإنسان، بما يسهم في ترسيخ وحدة البلاد ودعم أمنها واستقرارها، كما أشرنا إلى أن قوة العراق تستند إلى متانة إقليم كردستان، وأن مكانة الإقليم تزداد رسوخاً في ظل بغداد قوية وموحدة.
وبينا أن هذه الزيارة تحمل أبعاداً استراتيجية بالغة الأهمية تخدم مصالح العراق وشعبه، وتعكس عمق العلاقات وروح الأخوة والتقدير المتبادل، إلى جانب ضرورة مواصلة التنسيق والتكامل وتعزيز الشراكة الوطنية بما يدعم تماسك الدولة ويحقق تطلعات المواطنين.
Prime Minister @masrourbarzani will lead a significant delegation to Baghdad for G2G talks next week.
We will offer the KRG’s unique experience with the 24-hour Runaki programme to the new federal government, including technical assistance and access to our technology to accelerate Prime Minister Al-Zaidi’s ambitions for electricity sector reform.
Prime Minister @masrourbarzani will also follow up on security assurances to allow oil and gas companies in the Kurdistan Region to resume production and exports, potentially doubling Iraq’s export capacity to over 500K bpd.
Companies cannot be expected to resume operations amid the threat of drones in the skies.
A timely visit.
