As part of its mission to connect global markets and foster strategic partnerships, MENA INTERNATIONAL, led by its CEO Dr. Emad Ballack, played a key role in supporting and coordinating the recent visit of a high-level Ukrainian parliamentary delegation to Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan Region.

The Ukrainian delegation, including senior members of the Parliament and representatives of the Ukrainian President, was officially welcomed by Mr. Omed Khoshnaw, Governor of Erbil, at the Erbil Governorate. The visit coincided with the celebration of Kurdistan’s National Flag Day and reflected a shared commitment to peace, cooperation, and mutual development.

With the active facilitation of MENA INTERNATIONAL, the discussions focused on:
✅ Strengthening diplomatic ties and mutual understanding between Ukraine and the Kurdistan Region
✅ Exploring opportunities for direct economic and trade cooperation
✅ Proposing the establishment of a sister-city agreement between Kyiv and Erbil

Governor Khoshnaw reaffirmed Erbil’s position as an open, welcoming destination for international investors and companies. He emphasized the readiness of the Erbil Governorate to support foreign investors by providing a stable, business-friendly environment under clear legal frameworks.

The Ukrainian delegation, with the continuous support of MENA INTERNATIONAL, expressed their intention to deepen cooperation through joint projects and diplomatic engagement. The proposal for the twinning of Erbil and Kyiv was met with great enthusiasm from both sides, with commitments to advance the process.

At MENA INTERNATIONAL, we are proud to serve as a trusted bridge between Ukraine and the Kurdistan Region — facilitating meaningful partnerships that promote stability, economic growth, and cultural exchange.

This milestone engagement reflects MENA INTERNATIONAL’s ongoing dedication to building lasting relationships that unlock new opportunities across regions.
