[Ambassador Tom Barrack @USAMBTurkiye]

On behalf of @POTUS, I welcomed PUK leaders @Bafeltalabani and @qubadjt Qubad Talabani to discuss our shared interests in forging a strong and mutually beneficial U.S.-Iraq partnership, including through our enduring friendship with the Iraqi Kurdistan Region. I welcomed their vital contributions to ensure Iraq can effectively safeguard its sovereignty and fully realize the potential for its partnership with the United States.

[Qubad Talabani @qubadjt]

I was pleased to welcome H.E. Alicia Rico Pérez del Pulgar, Ambassador of Spain to Iraq. We agreed that Iraq’s new government should place economic development at the center of its agenda, and that Baghdad and the Kurdistan Regional Government must work in close coordination and cooperation to advance shared prosperity and sustainable growth.

[Qubad Talabani @qubadjt]

Today, at the Delphi Economic Forum in Slemani, I spoke about navigating uncertainty through stability, reform, and partnership.

Too often, others speak about our region without speaking to those who live in it. That is why it matters that these conversations are taking place here, in Kurdistan.

In a changing world, stability is our greatest strategic asset. We do not seek to be an arena for conflict, but a bridge for dialogue, cooperation, and opportunity.

History comes full circle. A special moment at the French Institute in Erbil, honoring our fathers by recreating their 1990 Paris photograph.

[Qubad Talabani @qubadjt]

I congratulate Mr. Tom Barrack on his appointment as President Trump’s Special Envoy to Iraq. We look forward to working closely with him to address the challenges facing Iraq and the wider region, and to advance our shared goals of security, stability, and prosperity.

[Qubad Talabani @qubadjt]

Today marks the launch of the Raparin Regional Development Agency, an important step toward a more balanced and inclusive economy.

I thank the UK Government @ukinerbil for its partnership in bringing this project to life. Sustainable economic growth cannot be limited to a few major cities. Every district has its own strengths, opportunities, and potential to attract investment, create jobs, and drive development.

We begin in Raparin, with a vision to replicate this model across the Kurdistan Region and ensure that growth and prosperity reach every community.

[Qubad Talabani @qubadjt]

From the Cannes Film Festival, we announced the Kurdistan Film Fund — an important step toward building a sustainable film industry in Kurdistan and empowering a new generation of Kurdish storytellers.

Because our stories deserve to be told by us, and shared with the world.

[Atlantic Council @AtlanticCouncil]

“Everybody wants to have a good relationship with Iraq—east, west, European, American, China, Russia, the region,” says Deputy Prime Minister of Kurdistan @qubadjt.

“So if Iraq was strategic, it would want to have a good relationship with everybody,” he adds.

[Atlantic Council @AtlanticCouncil]

The Iran war impacted Kurdistan significantly and in a negative way, says Deputy Prime Minister of Kurdistan @qubadjt.

“Economically, we’ve suffered more because of the stopping of the trade and the lack of oil exports,” he adds.

[Atlantic Council @AtlanticCouncil]

“I’m of the belief that a failed Iraq does not lead to a successful Kurdistan,” says Deputy Prime Minister of Kurdistan @qubadjt.

“A strong Iraq is going to be good for Kurdistan’s economy, and a strong Iraq does not exclude Kurdistan,” he adds.

[Qubad Talabani @qubadjt]

Two years ago, the “Guardians of Truth” monument was established in Azadi Park to preserve the memory and legacy of martyred journalists who sacrificed their lives in defense of truth and freedom of expression. Today, this monument has evolved into an annual platform to honor courageous, independent and professional journalists across Iraq and Kurdistan who continue to defend free speech, uphold the values of responsible journalism, and stand against intimidation and silence.

Today, we once again affirmed that Slemani is not only a city of freedom, but a steadfast defender of freedom throughout Kurdistan and Iraq.

I extended my sincere appreciation to Mr. Seungcheol Lim, Consul General of the Republic of Korea, for his valuable efforts in strengthening relations and expanding cooperation with the Kurdistan Region throughout his mission.

Today, we bid him farewell and wish him every success in his future assignment.

[Qubad Talabani @qubadjt]

In my meeting with Mr. Lukáš Gjurič, Consul General of the Czech Republic, we discussed strengthening relations between the Kurdistan Region and the Czech Republic, particularly in the fields of trade and agriculture.

We also exchanged views on supporting the Regional Development Agency in Raparin as a pilot project to strengthen the economy of the Kurdistan Region through rural development and agrotourism.

[Qubad Talabani @qubadjt]

In my meeting with Maxim Rubin, we emphasized that, despite the current regional instability, the election of the President of Iraq and the appointment of a new Prime Minister represent positive and important steps toward reinforcing Iraq’s political stability.
