The message conveyed by Barzani emphasized a wish for "continued success and progress" for both organizations.

Recognizing the pivotal roles played by the KSU and KDYU throughout their rich history, the statement highlighted their significant contributions in advocating for and safeguarding the rights of students and youth.
