“Today, we see that dialogue and diplomacy remain the most
effective ways to address many challenges. Azerbaijan’s modern role
as a mediator and ‘bridge-builder’ is reflected not only during
conflicts but also in our practical actions, including during the
COP29 held in Baku,” Rafiyev said.
He added that Azerbaijan is a well-known and respected platform
for international dialogue.
The deputy minister also noted that later this year, Azerbaijan
will host the World Urban Forum (WUF), which will gather thousands
of representatives from different countries to discuss contemporary
urbanization challenges and the development of sustainable and
resilient cities in line with climate and environmental
standards.
Rafiyev highlighted that Azerbaijan will also initiate and host
several other important international events this year, including a
UNESCO session in April, the annual meeting of the Islamic
Development Bank (IsDB) in June, and the Conference on Interaction
and Confidence-Building Measures in Asia (CICA) Summit.
