“I wish PM Salam and his cabinet success in bringing security, stability, and prosperity for the people of Lebanon,” Prime Minister Masrour Barzani stated.
The Prime Minister reaffirmed the Kurdistan Region’s support for Lebanon’s new government, highlighting the longstanding ties between the Kurdistan Region and Lebanon.
“The KRG stands ready to help,” PM Barzani stated.
The formation of Lebanon’s new government comes at a critical time, as the country faces economic and political challenges.
Lebanon has been grappling with an ongoing financial crisis, political deadlock, and regional instability. The appointment of Nawaf Salam, a former diplomat and judge at the International Court of Justice, is seen as a potential turning point in efforts to restore governance and implement much-needed reforms.
The Kurdistan Region has historically maintained strong diplomatic and economic relations with Lebanon.
Lebanese businesses have been active in the Kurdistan Region, and both regions have engaged in cultural and academic exchanges over the years.
Prime Minister Barzani’s message of support underscores the KRG’s commitment to strengthening partnerships in the region and supporting Lebanon’s path toward stability and recovery.
As the new Lebanese government embarks on its mission to navigate the country's crises, international backing from regional allies, including the Kurdistan Region, remains essential.
Prime Minister Barzani’s remarks reflect the KRG’s broader diplomatic efforts to maintain strong ties with its neighbors and support regional stability.
