Qatar Backs Erbil’s 24-Hour Services Project

The 24-hour water and electricity project in Erbil received high praise during a diplomatic farewell. Kurdistan Region Prime Minister Masrour Barzani hosted Qatar’s outgoing Consul General Hussain Bin Ali Al-Fadala in Erbil. The meeting highlighted the growing ties between Erbil and Doha.

The Consul General, completing his mission in the Kurdistan Region, praised the KRG for its service achievements. He especially applauded the 24-hour water and electricity project, calling it a model of effective public service. This project has improved daily life for thousands in Erbil by providing constant access to basic utilities.

During the meeting, Prime Minister Barzani reaffirmed his government’s dedication to strong ties with Qatar. He noted that Qatar remains a key Gulf partner for the Kurdistan Region. He thanked Al-Fadala for his role in building and maintaining diplomatic cooperation over the years.

Barzani also acknowledged the shared goals between Erbil and Doha. He underlined that both sides aim to expand economic and political coordination. As the farewell meeting took place, both leaders emphasized their commitment to keep building on the existing relationship.

In turn, Al-Fadala expressed his appreciation for the support provided by the Kurdistan Regional Government. He mentioned that the KRG had consistently backed his diplomatic efforts. As he prepares for his next post, he reaffirmed that Qatar intends to continue deepening its ties with the region.

The meeting served as both a farewell and a celebration of recent progress. In particular, Al-Fadala’s praise of the 24-hour water and electricity project showed that Qatar views the KRG’s infrastructure efforts as a success. He noted that such initiatives not only improve lives but also enhance the region’s stability and attractiveness for investment.

This positive exchange is another sign of Erbil’s growing role in regional diplomacy. Qatar has shown a clear interest in strengthening its relationship with the Kurdistan Region, and the KRG has welcomed that interest. The farewell gathering reinforced the mutual respect and strategic vision shared by both governments.

Looking ahead, Erbil aims to expand cooperation with Doha in energy, construction, and trade. The success of the 24-hour water and electricity project may serve as a blueprint for future joint efforts.

The atmosphere of the meeting reflected optimism. As Al-Fadala departs, both leaders remain committed to a partnership that continues to grow stronger with each passing year.
