Deputy FM: Azerbaijan - country that contributes to solving problems

Azerbaijan is a country that contributes to the processes taking place in the world, Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign Minister Araz Azimov said.

He made the remarks during his speech at the international "Strengthening Africa and Promoting Multilateralism in the Age of Global Challenges: the Role of the Non-Aligned Movement" conference, which is being held in Baku on May 17, Trend reports.

Noting that the countries of the world are facing conflicts, the deputy foreign minister added that Azerbaijan is a state that contributes to solving problems.

"Unfortunately, Azerbaijan has 30 years of experience related to this. But in the end, Azerbaijan liberated its lands from occupation. Wars that unfold in the territories of countries sometimes have an impact on the global level," he noted.

The conference is held with the joint organization of the Centre for Analysis of International Relations and Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry.

The conference is dedicated to Africa Day, which is celebrated annually on May 25. The purpose of the conference is to bring together politicians and experts from African countries and Non-Aligned Movement member countries to discuss strategies for strengthening Africa and promoting multilateralism in global geopolitical conditions.

The event is attended by representatives of think tanks and foreign ministries from the Non-Aligned Movement member countries, representatives of the diplomatic corps and the Government of Azerbaijan, as well as local experts.
