Meeting with Iraqi Embassy Representatives in Canberra

The Young Assyrians (TYA) had the distinct honour of visiting the Iraqi Embassy in Canberra, where we were warmly received by Chargé d’Affaires, Mr. Yarub Al-Anpaqi, and Counselor, Mr. Uday A. Khamas.

The purpose of our visit was to introduce TYA and to highlight our role in advocating for the Assyrian community and our expanding presence, particularly with our recent establishment in Victoria.

We discussed our initiatives in Australia, which were met with great enthusiasm by the Embassy representatives, who expressed their appreciation for our work in community engagement, advocacy, and policymaking.

During our discussions, we were pleased to learn about Iraq’s simplified entry requirements, which will soon allow individuals from Australia to apply for visas online, granting access to all regions of the country.

This development is particularly significant as we explore opportunities for future visits to Iraq to strengthen ties with our homeland and engage with our Assyrian community on the ground.

We extend our sincere gratitude to the Embassy for their warm hospitality and support, and we look forward to continued collaboration in the future.
