BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 18. Thanks to Azerbaijan
for supporting Ukraine, Oleksii Kuleba, Deputy Prime Minister of
Ukraine, told reporters on the margins of WUF13, Trend reports.
"I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the forum
organizers and the host country, the Republic of Azerbaijan. It was
an amazing day in Baku. Thank you very much for that. Thank you for
your support of Ukraine. And, of course, I would like to personally
thank everyone who helped make the Ukrainian pavilion possible," he
said.
A. Kuleba noted that Ukraine has very fruitful cooperation with
Azerbaijan.
"I think this forum today is the best example of our cooperation
with Azerbaijan. Not only because of our presentation today, but
also in general, because we had excellent meetings with government
members. We discussed numerous issues and numerous joint projects.
As I already said, not only infrastructure, but also economics and
so on. In the area of reconstruction, we have a joint project
with Azerbaijan, which is helping us restore some very symbolic
sites for Ukraine. And we are very pleased and grateful, especially
for the assistance from the Azerbaijani side," he said.
WUF13 is taking place in Baku from May 17 through 22 within the
framework of cooperation between the UN-Habitat program and the
Azerbaijani Government.
The event's program brings together various stakeholders and
representatives of like-minded groups to discuss one of the most
pressing global challenges – the issue of housing provision.
Dedicated to the theme "Housing the World: Safe and Resilient
Cities and Communities," WUF13 gathers national governments from
around the world, as well as communities, professionals, and
partners to exchange views, shape policy approaches, and accelerate
action toward solutions in sustainable urban development.
The program provides an opportunity for high-level discussions
through practical, solution-oriented platforms and interactive
meeting formats, ensuring that global policy is anchored in local
experience.
