ERBIL — The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) is planning to open a representation office in Turkey to foster bilateral economic and political ties, according to a top Kurdish diplomat.
Speaking to BasNews on Sunday, Safeen Dizayi, the head of KRG’s Department of Foreign Relations, said the plan also includes opening other diplomatic representation offices in several Arab states and Asian countries.
The opening of the KRG office in Turkey, according to Dizayi, was discussed during the official visits of President Nechirvan Barzani and Prime Minister Masrour Barzani to the neighboring country last year.
The last time the KRG officially took the issue to an official meeting was in September 2020, which was welcomed by the Turkish counterparts, the Kurdish official added.
“From both economic and political perspectives, it is important to have our representation [office] in Turkey,” Dizayi said.
