ERBIL (Kurdistan24) - Greece’s Consul General in the Kurdistan Region has described a visit to the Kurdistan Parliament as “positive,” underlining the strength of his country’s relations with Erbil.

On Thursday, consuls and representatives of countries in the Kurdistan Region visited the Kurdistan Parliament and met the new presidency board of the legislature.

Nikolaos Stergioulas, Greece’s Consul General in the Kurdistan Region, told Kurdistan24 in an exclusive statement that he and his counterparts held a useful and important meeting with the Kurdistan Parliament presidency.

The Greek consul general said the two sides discussed in detail the latest developments related to the reactivation of the Kurdistan Parliament.

On the level of diplomatic relations between Erbil and Athens, Stergioulas emphasized that Greece’s relations with the Kurdistan Regional Government are excellent and in a very good state.

Over the past years, relations between the Kurdistan Region and Greece have seen notable growth. Through its Consulate General in Erbil, Athens continues to strengthen its diplomatic, commercial and cultural ties with the Kurdistan Regional Government.

Following the reactivation of the Kurdistan Parliament and the election of a new presidency board in early November 2026, the international community and country representatives in the Kurdistan Region warmly welcomed the step. The visits by diplomatic envoys and consuls to the parliament reflect the importance that countries around the world attach to the political and legal stability of the Kurdistan Region.
