UK envoy highlights Azerbaijan as dynamic, modern country with global reach

Newly appointed UK Ambassador to Azerbaijan Duncan Norman has said that lasting peace in the South Caucasus would create new opportunities for trade, investment and regional connectivity.

Speaking at an event in Baku marking the birthday of King Charles III, he described Azerbaijan as a dynamic, modern country with strong global links, noting the importance of sustaining momentum towards peace, Caliber.Az reports per local media.

"Azerbaijan is entering a period of new opportunities, as for the first time in many years there is a real prospect of lasting peace in the South Caucasus. Peace would unlock new trade, investment and connectivity across the region. The challenge now is to make peace irreversible. Yet throughout all the changes I have witnessed, one thing has remained constant: the warmth and hospitality of the Azerbaijani people," he said.
