ERBIL (Kurdistan24) – Kurdistan Region Prime Minister Masrour Barzani on Monday, expressed his gratitude to Ambassador Nazmi Hazouri, the Palestinian Consul General in Erbil, for his significant contributions to enhancing the bilateral relations between the two nations. 

“In a farewell meeting, PM Barzani acknowledged Ambassador Hazouri's pivotal role in fostering mutual understanding and cooperation during his tenure,” a statement by the KRG said. 

“In response, Ambassador Hazouri commended the KRG for its support and cooperation, emphasizing the importance of further strengthening these bilateral ties,” the statement added.  

The relationship between the KRG and Palestine has been characterized by cultural exchanges and educational initiatives that have deepened appreciation for their shared heritage and history. These interactions, while subtly shaped by broader geopolitical factors, have demonstrated a profound commitment to nurturing a supportive and cooperative relationship.

A highlight of this collaboration occurred in November 2023, when the Barzani Charity Foundation (BCF), under the leadership of Musa Ahmed and with the support of Ambassador Hazouri, dispatched significant humanitarian aid to Gaza. 

The shipment, which included 14 tons of medical supplies, 2,500 food baskets, 200 medicine baskets, and 200 boxes of clothes, was aimed at alleviating the dire conditions faced by Gazans amid ongoing regional conflicts. This act of solidarity underscored the KRG's dedication to humanitarian efforts and its role in promoting peace and stability in the Middle East.
