Furthermore, the UAE's acceptance of pomegranate exports from the Kurdistan Regional Government reflects their commitment to supporting the agricultural sector and promoting Kurdish produce globally.

The financial aid provided by the UAE is a welcome gesture that will help the displaced families in the Kurdistan Region rebuild their lives. The UAE's support for the Kurdistan Region is a testament to the strong ties between the two countries.
