On Tuesday 12 November 2024, Director General of Syriac Culture and Arts Kaldo Ramzi Oghanna and Syriac Heritage and Museum Director Bernard Youssef received a delegation from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) at the Syriac Museum building in Ankawa District Centre.

The delegation toured the museum’s halls, viewing its holdings and archaeological artifacts, and expressing its admiration for the progress made in the projects implemented by the museum in cooperation with USAID, especially in the project “Preserving the Cultural Heritage of Minorities in Iraq,” by archiving the Syriac heritage and making it available to researchers.
