ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - United States Ambassador to Iraq Alina L. Romanowski on Friday congratulated Rudaw’s Diyar Kurda on winning the American Foreign Press Correspondents award.
“Congratulations! Thank you for your contributions to an active free press,” she said in a post on X.
Kurda is Rudaw’s Washington DC bureau chief and has been actively reporting from the American capital.
After Kurda was announced the winner of the prestigious award late last month, Rudaw Media Network said in a statement that it “commends him on being named the best Middle East Correspondent based in the United States in 2024 for his outstanding, professional, and effective reporting.”
“Rudaw Media Network warmly congratulates our colleague Diyar Kurda. We also congratulate all journalists from Kurdistan and the Middle East. This award will further strengthen and encourage Rudaw and its journalists,” it added.
Seven other journalists and reporters from CNBC, Fox News, New York Times, Axios, ZDF, Entravision, and Barron’s are also receiving awards at a ceremony in the US capital on December 4.
