A Newroz reception was held in London to mark the Kurdish new year, bringing together Kurdish community representatives and UK political figures.
The event reflected the growing recognition of Newroz, a celebration of spring and renewal observed across Kurdish geographies, in British public life. Community leaders used the occasion to highlight Kurdish contributions to the UK and to raise awareness of Kurdish culture and heritage.
Such gatherings have become an annual fixture in the capital, drawing attendees from across the Kurdish diaspora and from the wider community. (Egerin)
