BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 13. Concrete decisions
aimed at improving the accessibility and comfort of our cities will
be adopted through the World Cities Alliance platform, the UN
Resident Coordinator in Azerbaijan, Igor Garafulic, said at the
event 'Cities for All – Leaving No One Behind,' Trend reports.
According to him, the UN will also provide significant support
to this process and the principle of inclusivity, and will always
uphold the principle of equal opportunities for all.
“Cities are now emerging not only as economic centers but also
as a key part of social life. Ensuring equal opportunities in
society is of immense importance, especially for people with
disabilities. As stated in UN conventions, all citizens must
actively participate in social, economic, and cultural life. Baku
has great potential in this regard, and all these opportunities
must be more inclusive. Young people, the elderly,
migrants—everyone must come together and work to remove existing
barriers,” the UN representative said.
