His Eminence recalled the long-standing bond with this honorable tribe, describing it as a relationship rooted in the ties of forefathers, which will be passed on to future generations. “We are united by our homeland and by Islam,” H.E. said.
H.E. reiterated his affection and connection with the people of Kurdistan, emphasizing that the Iraqi nation encompasses Iraq’s diverse peoples, communities, religions, and sects.
