ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – The Kurdistan Region has “very good friends in London” that can help it reform and modernize, Prime Minister Masrour Barzani said on Thursday.
“Our challenges are real, and we’ve got very good friends in London to help us,” the prime minister tweeted Thursday. “The great thing about a reform and modernization agenda is that someone has already done it.”
It was a pleasure to see friends — @sajidjavid @nadhimzahawi @GregHands — beyond the formal bilats.
