Ke manaʻoʻiʻo nei ka KRG e noho makaʻala loa ka ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo huakaʻi US a ʻaʻole i hōʻike i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo e hiki i ka hapa nui o nā kamaʻāina a me nā kamaʻāina o ka Kurdistan Region ke hele i ko lākou ola i kēlā me kēia lā i kahi noho maluhia a paʻa. Eia naʻe, mahalo ʻia ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana mai ka ʻōlelo aʻo huakaʻi mua.

"Ke mahalo nei mākou i ka 'Oihana Moku'āina no ka hoʻonui ʻana i kāna ʻōlelo aʻo huakaʻi no Iraq. ʻO ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana i ka ʻāina ʻo Kurdistan ʻaʻole ia he mea kānalua e hoʻoikaika hou i ka ʻoihana US e nānā i nā manawa hoʻopukapuka he nui i loaʻa ma ka Kurdistan Region, "wahi a Mr. Qubad Talabani, ka ʻelele KRG i ka US.

Hoʻololi kēia ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo hou i ka ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo mua i hoʻopuka ʻia ma Iune 13, 2008, ʻaʻole i hoʻokaʻawale i waena o nā wahi palekana a ʻoi aku ka pōʻino o Iraq.

A hiki i kēia lā, ʻaʻole hoʻokahi kamaʻāina ʻAmelika, koa, a i ʻole ka mea hana i ʻaihue ʻia, ʻeha, a pepehi ʻia paha ma ka ʻāina ʻo Kurdistan," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo Mr. Karim Sinjari, ke Kuhina Kalaiaina o ka KRG.

ʻOiai e hoʻomaopopo ana ua hoʻomaikaʻi ka palekana ma Iraq, ua ʻike nui ka US Department of State i nā wahi i kūkulu ʻia i ka Kurdistan Region e ʻike nei i ka palekana ma mua o ke koena o Iraq.

No ka 'ike hou aku, e kipa www.krg.org.

He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:

The KRG believes that the US travel advisory remains overly cautious and does not reflect the fact that the vast majority of local and international residents of the Kurdistan Region are able to go about their daily lives in a peaceful and stable environment.
ʻOiai e hoʻomaopopo ana ua hoʻomaikaʻi ka palekana ma Iraq, ua ʻike nui ka US Department of State i nā wahi i kūkulu ʻia i ka Kurdistan Region e ʻike nei i ka palekana ma mua o ke koena o Iraq.
The distinction made to the Kurdistan Region will no doubt further encourage US business to look into the many investment opportunities available in the Kurdistan Region,”.
