Trade is an important part of the UK’s relationship with the #KRI. Thank you to Kak Sardar and his team for giving CG @DavidHuntFCDO a tour of the @JaguarMENA @LandRoverMENA showroom, and sharing their expertise on ways to grow trade and their vision for the automotive sector.

🟦The story behind this iconic photo
It was taken at a Kurdish school in Galala, Erbil province in 1964 by French journalist Chris Kutschera.
The six-year-old girl in the photo is Shna - daughter of PUK commander Ali Askari. She lives in Sulaimani now.
Brilliant to see #UK higher education institutions/organisations: GEMS, Cambridge, City and Guilds, University of London sign an agreement to support the #KRG Ministry of Higher Education with a series of free capacity building/training courses.

W @O_Decottignies, we visited my village of Shadala for delicious traditional lunch hosted by my uncle, Sheikh Mahmod Shadala. We shared knowledge on our rich historical Hakka movement & saw the Holy Shrine of Sheikh Abdulkarimi Shadala, an honour & pleasure to have received you
Right #TwitterKurds I set my new CG @DavidHuntFCDO the challenge of getting to 1000 followers in his first two weeks. We’ve got a few hours left, get following and retweet!!
Hopefully a shout out from @Dashni_Morad, @FalahMustafa or @vvanwilgenburg might help 😬😬🙏🏻🙏🏻
A lot of fun opening the new @Umbro store in Baghdad with @IraqFA and to see the new Iraqi national strip inspired by Iraq’s heritage. The Lions were wearing Umbro when they won the 2007 Asian Cup so hopefully a sign of things to come.
