The issue of the Referendum for Kurdistan independence held on 25-9-2017 also it was another topic of the meeting. We clarified KDP’s position on the issue by regarding the decision to hold the referendum as a right and legal decision and the post-referendum negative developments were due to the unpatriotic position of a group within PUK and the unilateral mentality of succession of Iraqi Governments.  

Please accept our deepest Condolences and our heartfelt sympathy to all of you and his family. In this sad occasion, we in the Foreign Relations Office of Kurdistan Democratic Party renew our determination to continue our efforts to keep strong ties between the people of Kurdistan and Japan and between our Parties.

We extend our condolences to the families of the victims, the people and government of Egypt, and wish prompt recovery of the wounded.

Hoshyar Siwaily Head of Foreign Relations Office of Kurdistan Democratic Party gave a speech at the 10th General Assembly of the International Conference of the Asian Political Parties (ICAPP). In the past few months our party participated in the federal and Regional parliamentary elections in which it came first among the Kurdistani political parties with 25 and 45 seats in the Federal and Regional elections respectively. We are actively coordinating our efforts with the other blocs and parties on both levels to from the next two governments.

The KRG currently exports over 400,000 bpd of crude oil. The KRG’s policy of maintaining consistent and timely payments to its producing oil companies has led to more investment in its oil fields, stabilising production levels and paving the way for further production increases during 2019. These export achievements generate more revenues that will help to reduce the KRG’s overall debts and aid the economic revival and sustainability of the Kurdistan Region. The KRG’s policy of supporting its producers provides further evidence that Kurdistan’s PSCs are a win-win for investors and the citizens of the Kurdistan Region.
