Bafel Talabani, Co-president of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), is scheduled to meet Brett McGurk, coordinator of the National Security Council for Middle-east and North Africa, on Wednesday.

 

The Co-president of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan will discuss a number of files of common interests.

 

US Diplomat Brett Mcgurk is well known to Kurdish political forces in Kurdistan especially in the south (Kurdistan Region) and west Kurdistan ( northeastern Syria) and met with many Kurdish officials including the PUK's co-leaders, Mr. Qubad Talabani, Deputy Prime Minister of the KRG and many more. 

 

In 2015, former US President Barak Obama appointed him as US representative in the Global Coalition against ISIS terrorist organization. Since then he has made many visits to the south and west Kurdistan and has great relations with the political forces and is closely aware of the Kurdish cause.

 

US President-elect Joe Biden nominated Brett McGurk, who is an outspoken advocate of American military presence in Syria and staunch detractor of the Turkish government, as Middle East coordinator on the National Security Council.
