The visit, organized by Service for Restoration, Construction and Management in Lachin aimed to observe the ongoing restoration work in the Azerbaijani territories liberated from occupation, as well as to discuss future priorities and directions for development, Caliber.Az reports.

The delegation was provided with detailed information about the extensive reconstruction efforts underway in the area, as well as the plans for its economic development and integration into Azerbaijan’s national economy.

During their visit, the guests also toured newly constructed enterprises, which are expected to play a crucial role in the region's economic growth.
