BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 5. Cooperation between
Azerbaijan and the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) will further
strengthen, IPU Secretary General Martin Chungong told reporters at
the Azerbaijani Parliament during his visit to the country,
Trend reports.
"This is a very important part of my relations with Azerbaijan
as Secretary General of the IPU. I came here under special
circumstances this time, as I am about to leave my post, and I
wanted to come to Azerbaijan and express my gratitude to the
country's leadership for their support in building strong relations
between Azerbaijan and the IPU," he said.
The Secretary General recalled that he had a very productive
meeting with the Speaker of the Azerbaijani Parliament, Sahiba
Gafarova, on May 4.
"We discussed cooperation between the Parliament of Azerbaijan
and IPU and noted that this cooperation continues stably.
We stressed our commitment to expanding cooperation in various
areas, including building bridges between Azerbaijan and Armenia,
so that the peoples of both countries can live in peace and
harmony.
I also thanked and congratulated her for the contribution to the
peace process, as well as for President Ilham Aliyev’s support for
peace efforts with Armenia.
This is the main content of my recent visit to Azerbaijan. Even
though I'm leaving my post, I believe that the cooperation between
Azerbaijan and the IPU will be further strengthened. Because the
person who will replace me is also fully committed to the peace
agenda in the region," he explained.
Chungong emphasized that he hopes that this cooperation will
continue and that he will have the opportunity to contribute to
this cooperation in other positions in the future.
