Masrour Barzani, Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), arrived in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, leading a high-level delegation for an official visit aimed at strengthening ties between the Kurdistan Region and the United States.

During his visit, Prime Minister Barzani is set to hold meetings with senior U.S. administration officials and members of Congress. He will also engage with American investors, business leaders, and advocates for international religious freedom to discuss economic cooperation and regional stability.

The discussions will center on enhancing the strategic partnership between the Kurdistan Region and the U.S., with a focus on bilateral cooperation, investment opportunities, and recent political and security developments in Iraq and the broader Middle East.

A key highlight of the visit will be Prime Minister Barzani’s participation in a special session at a Washington energy forum titled “The Future of Energy and Power in the Kurdistan Region.” There, he will outline the KRG’s vision for energy development and showcase opportunities for U.S. companies in the sector.

This visit underscores the Kurdistan Region’s commitment to deepening its relationship with the U.S. while promoting economic growth and regional stability. Further updates are expected as the meetings progress.
