In a message addressed to Bafel Jalal Talabani, leader of the PUK, as well as members of the party’s Political Bureau and Supreme Political Council, the KDP extended its best wishes for the continued success of the party’s cadres, members, and supporters.

The KDP stressed that greater cooperation among political forces is essential at a time when the Kurdistan Region faces a range of critical political and institutional challenges.

“Once again, we emphasize the importance of coordination and unity among all political parties in Kurdistan to properly address the current critical issues facing the region,” the message stated.

The KDP Political Bureau also highlighted the need for joint efforts to protect national achievements, strengthen official institutions, and defend the constitutional and political status of the Kurdistan Region, describing these priorities as particularly important during the current period.

The message comes amid ongoing discussions among Kurdish political parties over key issues affecting the region, including governance, institutional reform, and relations with the federal government in Baghdad.
