The American University of Iraq, Sulaimani (AUIS) was honored to host U.S. Consul General Steven Bitner for an engaging and timely discussion moderated by AUIS President Dr. Bilal Wahab.

The session brought together a diverse audience of AUIS students, alumni, faculty, and staff, as well as representatives from Sulaimani University. Together, they engaged in a dynamic conversation on U.S.–Iraq relations, the evolving role of diplomacy, and the broader political dynamics shaping the region.

This exchange not only offered valuable insights but also reinforced AUIS’s role as a leading forum for dialogue, learning, and critical thinking in Iraq and the Kurdistan Region.
