UTJD met with members of the International Republican Institute (IRI) in Washington, D.C. We had a fruitful discussion on several areas of mutual interest. We appreciate IRI for the opportunity to explore important research areas where UTJD can contribute. We look forward to further collaboration in the future. Together, we can strengthen democratic tools to fight for basic human rights in East Turkistan and beyond, empowering people to raise their voices regardless of their origin.
We are particularly grateful to IRI for its focus on Uyghur cultural and language preservation. This work is essential for safeguarding the Uyghur identity.
