Mr Salih Muslim, co-president of the PYD, member of the Kurdish Supreme Council and Vice President of Syrian National Coordinating Body for democratic change, will be in London on a diplomatic visit from Tuesday 30 April to Monday 6 May.
The Democratic Union Party (PYD) is one of the leading Syrian Kurdish political parties, and a member of the Kurdish Supreme Council, a coalition of Syrian Kurdish parties formed in Erbil in July 2012. Having long opposed the oppressive regime in Damascus, the PYD advocates for a pluralistic democratic Syria, which recognises the rights of all of Syria’s peoples and protects the cultural, linguistic, and ethnic diversity of the country.
