The Executive Committee is charged with carrying out the KNA's vision until the upcoming first conference, during which the General Assembly will officially endorse the KNA bylaws and elect a new Executive Committee. Subsequently, the Executive Committee made the decision to initiate the process of formalizing the KNA's bylaws. As part of this endeavor, it was agreed upon that the initial focal points should involve engaging with global stakeholders, particularly Western nations, to address the challenges faced by the population of Kurdistan. Additionally, the Executive Committee outlined plans to organize educational initiatives for the promotion of Kurdish language, culture, and history. These activities are intended to be conducted either in-person or virtually, utilizing platforms such as Zoom to accommodate a wide audience.

In alignment with this initiative, the Executive Committee has set the first activity of this nature to take place in the upcoming month of May. More details regarding the theme, timing, and location of the event will be communicated in due course.

Moreover, the Kurdistan National Assembly (KNA) operates as a non-profit and non-partisan organization, dedicated solely to advancing the collective interests of the people of Kurdistan. We call upon all conscientious individuals within Kurdistan and the diaspora, especially in North America, as well as our peace-loving friends, to join us in championing the righteous cause of our people.
