He outlined the president’s participation in three high-level gatherings: the European Political Community (EPC) meeting in Copenhagen on October 1–2; the Summit of the Organization of Turkic States in Gabala on October 6–7; and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) Summit in Dushanbe on October 9–10.

According to Hajiyev, this concentrated diplomatic activity highlights Azerbaijan’s strategic positioning.
