The post was accompanied by a short video capturing scenes from the delegation’s arrival at Lachin International Airport and their initial engagements.

According to Caliber.Az, the diplomatic visit is part of a broader programme aimed at showcasing Azerbaijan’s post-conflict recovery efforts, infrastructure development, and plans for the safe return of displaced populations.

The itinerary includes visits to Shusha—a cultural capital of Azerbaijan—and Aghdam, once heavily damaged during Armenian occupation and now undergoing rapid reconstruction. The delegation is expected to return to Baku via the recently launched Aghdam–Baku railway line, underscoring the significance of renewed transport links in the liberated territories.
