Today, Dr. Haval Abubaker, the Governor of Slemani, received Mr. Atta Osman—writer, director, and producer at Karayara Film for cinematic production in Sydney, Australia. 

During the meeting, they discussed collaborative cultural initiatives between Slemani and Sydney, as well as the role of the Kurdish diaspora in cultural affairs.

The Governor of Slemani expressed his thanks and appreciation to Mr. Osman for producing the Slemani–Sydney documentary Two Lights and One Sun, which is scheduled to be screened on the anniversary of the founding of Slemani.

Mr. Osman presented several Indigenous Australian cultural gifts to the Governor. In return, the Governor of Slemani presented him with a joint literary anthology between the cities of Slemani and Melbourne, Australia. Titled ‘INKubator’, the book was published in both Kurdish and English with contributions from five Kurdish and five Australian writers, serving as a symbol of collaboration between Slemani and Melbourne as members of the UNESCO Creative Cities of Literature network.
