A delegation of Romanian senators led by Christian Augustin Niculescu Țâgârlaș, a member of the Romanian Senate representing Maramureș County and the Romania–Azerbaijan Interparliamentary Friendship Group, has visited Khankendi to assess ongoing reconstruction and development projects in Azerbaijan’s liberated territories.

During the visit, the delegation met with Elchin Yusubov, the Special Representative of the President of Azerbaijan in Khankendi, Aghdara and Khojaly districts, Caliber.Az reports, citing local media.

The guests were briefed on the extensive restoration work being carried out in the region, including the construction of modern residential areas, the expansion of social infrastructure, and the renewal of transport, energy, water and communication networks.
