On this International Labor Day, May 1st, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all workers in Kurdistan, Iraq, and around the world, and their organizations. I commend their dedication to the progress and rejuvenation of our country, along with their crucial contribution to its development.

We reaffirm our strong commitment to upholding workers’ rights and supporting their legitimate demands in the Kurdistan Region. We advocate for the establishment of a peaceful working environment, the provision of fair employment opportunities, and the regulation of relationships between workers and employers in a way that protects the dignity of all workers.

On this solemn occasion, we honor the memory of all workers who have lost their lives in the line of duty and extend our deepest condolences to their families. We strongly urge all relevant parties to ensure these families receive the necessary support and assistance.

I wish all workers a peaceful holiday and success in their efforts and struggle to secure their rights.

Nechirvan Barzani
President of the Kurdistan Region
