He praised their vibrant traditions and cultural richness, calling them a vital component of Kurdish society.

The Kakais are a vital part of Kurdish society, with rich and peaceful customs, traditions, and culture.

During the revolutionary and national struggle, they stood at the forefront, defending the national rights of the Kurdish people.”
Resumption of Khalkan-Dukan Project
In response to public concerns, Qubad Talabani intervened to ensure the resumption of the Khalkan-Dukan infrastructure project.

Dukan Governor Sirwan Sarhad confirmed the decision in a press conference, stating:
“The project will be completed on time on the decision of Qubad Talabani. For this purpose, the implementing company has been instructed to resume work.”
A representative of the project’s implementing company assured the public that financial support from the Deputy Prime Minister would enable immediate resumption:
“Deputy Prime Minister Qubad Talabani has promised to provide us with full financial support to complete the project, and we will resume our work as soon as possible.”
Addressing Community Demands
The residents of the Khalkan-Dukan area had organized protests to draw attention to their struggles, particularly the halted project and persistent electricity shortages. Talabani’s decision to act promptly reflects his commitment to addressing the urgent needs of the region’s communities. By tackling both cultural and developmental priorities, he reaffirmed his dedication to enhancing the quality of life for all citizens in the Kurdistan Region.
