Türkiye has praised Azerbaijan for the excellent organization of the 29th Conference of the Parties (COP29), particularly in terms of logistics and facilitating crucial negotiations.

Fatma Varank, Deputy Minister of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change of Türkiye, and the country's chief negotiator at COP29, commended Azerbaijan's efforts during the conference, Caliber.Az reports via Turkish media.

In her remarks, Varank emphasized that COP29 provided an important platform for addressing global climate change issues, with a particular focus on combating global warming. She noted the significance of the wide-ranging discussions and negotiations that took place during the event.

Türkiye's participation at COP29 was notably high-level, with President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, ministers, MPs, officials, academics, and representatives from non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in attendance.
