On Saturday, the activities of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) Forum were launched in Halabja Governorate in the presence of a large audience of cadres and members of the PUK.
"The PUK Forum is a big and important step towards the development and prosperity of the PUK to see the views of cadres and members of the PUK," said Asos Ali, head of the PUK Organizations Center in Halabja, during a speech inaugurating the forum.
He pointed out that the PUK Forum contributes to strengthening the role of youth and their participation in decision-making.
"The program and vision of the PUK is a hope for the people of Kurdistan in promoting coexistence, harmony, and the democratic experience of the Kurdistan Region... the PUK gave great sacrifices to liberate the people of Kurdistan," he added.
For his part, Stran Abdullah, a member of the Political Bureau of the PUK, gave a speech in which he said: "The Sharzwr region was a forerunner in struggle and sacrifice... it is the region that answered the call of the new revolution and made great sacrifices in the liberation movement."
"The PUK seeks to develop partisan work and listen to the opinions of fellow comrades from all levels and partisan tasks. This forum wants to know what the requirements of the current stage are and what the PUK cadres want from the leadership of the party," he added.
The Patriotic Union of Kurdistan held preparatory meeting for the PUK Forum in Badinan, Kirkuk, the Garmian region, and Erbil, and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan will hold the General Forum next month. These first meetings of the forum are only a preparation for the main one scheduled to take place in early May.
The first stage of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) Forum kicked off in Duhok earlier in March, where PUK officials exchanged ideas on current and future crucial topics alongside our society's needs, challenges, and changes as well as the political experience of our nation as the developments. It later extended to Kirkuk and Erbil.
The forum seeks to discuss the party's current and future crucial topics alongside our society's needs, challenges, and changes as well as the political experience of our nation as the developments. Changes in modern society and the contemporary era across the world including Kurdistan require this new strive and effort. In addition to that, it is always important for the PUK to be the trailblazer and initiator of such changes.
Since the announcement of the forum by Mr. Qubad Talabani, supervisor of the Secretariat Office of President Mam Jalal, in February, multiple competent committees on essential key topics and issues have been formed. Furthermore, PUK comrades' opinions will be received, collected, and considered through visits, gatherings, and meetings for drafting reports and developing plans for the PUK's main forum, so that comrades participating in this forum will have a serious and effective engagement with a sense of responsibility and the aim of identifying problems and gaps along with proposing solutions and contributing in reshaping the position of the PUK and our nation at present and in the future.
