Erbil-Hewler, Kurdistan region "Iraq", —
Lebanon sees Iraqi Kurdistan as a potential partner
for business and investment opportunities, the
Kurdistan Regional Government said Monday.
Kurdistan Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani welcomed
Lebanese Tourism Minister Joseph Sarkis,www.ekurd.net
who visited the region
with a delegation of officials from Beirut.
"The Lebanese government hopes that relations with
the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) continue to
grow and that business and investment ties assist in
expanding our friendship," Sarkis said.
Sarkis told Barzani the economic and security
situation in the Kurdish region gave regional
partners incentive to invest in several sectors in
Iraqi Kurdistan.
Barzani responded in kind to the statements during a
ceremony to lay the cornerstone of the
Rotana Hotel in Erbil,
an investment project backed by Lebanon and the
United Arab Emirates.
"I firmly believe that much potential exists for
strengthening relations between the Kurdistan Region
and Lebanon," the Kurdish premier said.
