Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani met with Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Shabani in Munich, reinforcing the importance of Syria's unity for regional stability.
Nechirvan Barzani, the President of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, met with Asaad Shabani, the Syrian Foreign Minister, on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference. During their conversation, Barzani underscored the significance of Syria's unity and stability as crucial elements not only for Syria but also for the stability of Iraq and the Kurdistan Region.
The discussions also highlighted Barzani's appreciation for the steps taken by Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharah, particularly a presidential decree issued on January 16 recognizing the cultural and linguistic rights of Syrian Kurds. This decree aims to address various legal and civil issues faced by certain groups within Syria, reflecting a commitment to building an inclusive state that safeguards the rights of all citizens without discrimination.
Barzani further asserted that political dynamics in Syria must remain centralized in Damascus and that this central authority is vital for any future political process. This meeting comes amidst Syria's efforts to negotiate a comprehensive agreement with the Syrian Democratic Forces, aimed at addressing ongoing conflicts and fostering stability in the region.
