History

Kurdish demonstration at Schuman, Brussels, 25 October 2017

Belgian Foreign Minister Karel de Gucht visited Erbil in May 2009 to discuss economic ties with Kurdish President Masoud Barzani.[6] In 2016, the Belgian government delivered 41 loads of medical aid to Kurdish soldiers,[7] and the regional government of Flanders decided to provide medical help for wounded Peshmerga.[8] In 2014, Flandern had already aided Kurdistan Region with 400,000 euros for sanitation and water through Red Cross.[9] That same year, Belgian politician Georges Dallemagne said that: "The Kurdistan Region has done an impressive job in sheltering IDPs and refugees and protecting and defending the civilians and ethnic and religious minority groups against the barbaric acts of Islamic State terrorists."[10] Belgium also decided to allocate 13,5 million euros to Kurdistan Region to cope with the growing number of internally displaced people.[11] In 2017, Belgium and Kurdistan Region signed an agreement on the deportation of convicted Kurdish refugees in Belgium.[12]
