ERBIL (Kurdistan24) - Nechirvan Barzani, President of the Kurdistan Region, met with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump and several other world leaders during the reopening ceremony of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris.
The Notre-Dame Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Paris's most iconic landmarks, suffered a devastating fire in April 2019 that severely damaged its roof and spire.
The restoration project, which took several years to complete, represents one of the most ambitious cultural heritage reconstruction efforts in recent history.
The reopening ceremony has attracted numerous international dignitaries, highlighting the cathedral's significance as a symbol of French cultural heritage and European architecture.
The Kurdistan Region has maintained strong diplomatic relations with Western nations, particularly in areas of cultural preservation and international cooperation.
This high-level meeting at such a significant cultural event underscores the Kurdistan Region's continued engagement in international diplomacy.
