This contract has been under negotiation since last year, with the Ministry of Interior and the Department of Information Technology working on it in close partnership. I want to commend Minister of Interior Kak Rebar, Head of Department of Information Technology Kak Hiwa, the team at Muelbauer Group and all their staff for making this possible. I know that financial experts providing commercial advice to our government have also played an important role. This team effort with Muelbauer Group has now expanded the scope of the project in a way that reflects this cabinet’s vision and the needs of the Kurdistani people. I am especially pleased it has resulted in savings of more than $7m to the public sector.

The United States and Kurdistan have a decades-long partnership. In 2021, we will mark 30 years since Operation Provide Comfort spawned our modern relationship. In recent years, our soldiers and security forces have worked in partnership to combat terrorism and protect our countries and our ways of life from shared threats. We are indebted to these heroic men and women for keeping us safe and free.
