Karwan Jamal Tahir Kurdistan Regional Government High Representative visited the British Library in London and was warmly
welcomed by Dr. Michael Erdmann، Head of the Middle East and Central Asia
Department.
During the visit, the
representation delegation took a tour through the library and its sections، especially the Kurdish section، which contains hundreds of titles. At the same
time the KRG High Representative and the Head of the Middle East and Central Asia Department
at the library held productive discussions on the importance of strong
cooperation between the KRG and the British Library.
Karwan Jamal Tahir
pointed out that Kurdish history and language are an important part of the
Middle East and said that the KRG representation will collaborate with the
Library by providing more Kurdish books and titles so that the Kurdish and
non-Kurdish readers have more resources and more information about Kurdistan.
Dr.
Michael Erdmann expressed his gratitude for the visit of KRG UK representation and the
readiness to provide assistance to enrich the Kurdish section of the library، saying that those who speak Kurdish in the world
are large in number and are a large community in the UK and that the library
constantly needs help with providing resources, therefore they will do
everything possible to add more resources and titles to their library.
The British Library
contains more than ten kilometres of shelves and 190 million titles, sources
and archives, including the Kurdish section which serves the
Kurds and the Kurdish language well.
