Visit of the US-Kurdistan Business Council delegation to Kurdistan
Delegates from a number of American companies visited Erbil on Monday and met with Kurdish businessmen with an eye on investing in various industries in the semi-autonomous Kurdistan Region. The delegation represented the US-Kurdistan Business Council (USKBC).
In an interview with Kurdistan 24, David Tafuri, the head of USKBC, noted the organization had brought 35 people from 20 different companies from the US to Erbil to “engage with local businessmen and seek investment opportunities.”
Companies in the sectors of constructions, hotels, hospitality, oil and gas, defense and security have a strong interest in the Kurdish region.
“The Kurdistan Region is a fantastic market. It has a lot of resources. It has great people who want to work, who are pro-west, and we believe they are pro-American. We feel like it is a hospitable place to do business,” Tafuri added.
Different companies and corporations are members of the USKBC, including American giant Chevron.
