On the occasion of the October 23rd, 2023 the establishment anniversary of University of Sulaimani, the first university in the Kurdistan Region, the Presidency of University of Sulaimani, while celebrating this great anniversary, sends a warm congratulatory letter to the Kurdish people in general and Sulaymaniyah city in particular.

The June 29, 1966 agreement directed several demands from Kurdish leadership to the Iraqi government, including the establishment of the University of Sulaimani. In 1968, 55 years ago, the Kurdistan Region witnessed the official founding of its first university. This pivotal institution not only marked a significant strategic achievement but also played a vital role in culture, politics, and the economy. The demands of the Kurdish revolution expanded beyond mere freedom, evolving into a call for the revival of crucial strategic projects in the region. This transformation from an armed to a scientific and cultural revolution marked a momentous shift in our nation’s history.
Notably, President Mam Jalal, the sole leader of our nation, played a pivotal role in the establishment of the University of Sulaimani. Subsequently, with the dedication of educators, intellectuals, and devoted citizens, alongside the backing of the Iraqi government, the University of Sulaimani’s structure was efficiently planned and organized. In a brief period, this esteemed institution was founded in the Capital of Cultural of the Kurdistan Region, marking another proud moment for the city and the legacy of the late Sheikh Mahmoud.

Originally, the University of Sulaimani had just a few colleges, but over time, it steadily expanded, now boasting 21 colleges and over 80 departments across five modern campuses. In the 1980s, the university relocated to Erbil and was renamed Salahaddin University. However, following the significant 1991 uprising, the University of Sulaimani was resurrected through the determination of our people and Kurdish leadership.

Today, thanks to the unwavering dedication of its educators and staff, this university ranks at the forefront of all universities in the Kurdistan Region and is making remarkable strides globally. On behalf of the University of Sulaimani’s Presidency and the University Council, we extend our warm congratulations to all teachers, employees, and students. We hope that the University of Sulaimani, which has played a crucial role in our society’s intellectual and cultural advancement, continues on this splendid trajectory, further serving our nation and homeland.

Once again, our heartfelt congratulations to the cherished Mother University on this exceptional occasion!

Presidency of University of Sulaimani
