BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 7. Azerbaijan’s
Ambassador to Kenya, Sultan Hajiyev, took part in a panel
discussion organized as part of the events marking the 100th
anniversary of the Kenya Government School for Civil Service
Development.


This was announced by the press service of the Azerbaijani
Embassy in Kenya.


According to the Azerbaijani Embassy, a high-level event marking
the 100th anniversary of the Kenyan Government School of Public
Service was held in Nairobi. The event was attended by several
ministers, high-ranking government officials, public and political
figures, and representatives of the diplomatic corps.


The embassy noted that Azerbaijan’s Ambassador to Kenya, Sultan
Hajiyev, was invited to participate in a panel discussion on the
topic “High-Level Political Dialogue on Economic Prosperity and
Constructive Cooperation.” During the discussions, which were also
attended by the ambassadors of China, Italy, and France, Sultan
Hajiyev spoke about the historical stages of Azerbaijan’s
socioeconomic, political, and cultural development.


He noted that the system of state governance, established thanks
to the rescue mission of Azerbaijan’s National Leader, Heydar
Aliyev, and the socio-political and socio-economic foundations laid
under the leadership of President of the Republic of Azerbaijan
Ilham Aliyev, paved the way for the country’s comprehensive
development.


The ambassador emphasized that Azerbaijan, which in the early
years of its independence was dependent on foreign aid and had 20%
of its territory under occupation, has today, thanks to a
progressive system of public administration, become a donor
country, promoting international development, contributing to peace
and stability in the region, and hosting many prestigious
international events.


Ambassador Sultan Hajiyev presented information on the
innovative solutions being implemented in Azerbaijan to modernize
the educational environment, train civil servants, and enhance the
professional qualifications of the population. It should be noted
that the Kenya National School for Civil Service Development is
actively exploring opportunities for cooperation with the Academy
of Public Administration under the President of the Republic of
Azerbaijan and the State Examination Center.


Meanwhile, in recent years, Azerbaijan and Kenya have rapidly
expanded their diplomatic and economic relations, as reflected in
the opening of the Azerbaijani embassy in Nairobi. The two nations
are working closely together to address global challenges related
to climate change and sustainable urbanization. In addition, they
have established a strategic partnership in the energy sector and
are actively exchanging expertise in the field of public
administration.
