Dear Mr. Bafel Talabani…

I congratulate you on for being chosen as president of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, and I am confident of your promising leadership for the Union's march towards achieving its goals.

Today's political forces have major national responsibilities to preserve the state and achieve the interests of the people of all nationalities and sects.

We call you and all the national forces for more solidarity and joint action to achieve the legitimate goals of our people in security, stability and prosperity.
