"On behalf of the Kurdistan Region, I would like to congratulate President Joe Biden, and Vice President, kamala Harris, on their historic inauguration," Barzani said in a tweet.
The president added: "I wish them success in leading the American people and look forward to working with our friends in the new administration."
US President Joe Biden pledged to be a president for "all Americans" at his inauguration in Washington Wednesday, January 20, but warned of the challenges ahead as he takes on multiple crises.
Speaking at the US Capitol just two weeks after it was stormed by an armed mob supporting his predecessor Donald Trump, Biden declared: "This is America's day, this is democracy's day. A day of history and hope."
