Azerbaijan is ready to deepen cooperation with its partners and provide comprehensive support in successfully implementing the targets that will be set for the coming years, Deputy Foreign Minister Yalchin Rafiyev said during the “High-Level Strategic Prioritization” event within the UN-Azerbaijan Cooperation Framework Document on Sustainable Development (2026-2030).
Rafiyev emphasised that determining development needs and the framework rights of cooperation with the UN is a matter within the exclusive authority of the state. "We hope that the new framework document will be prepared in a way that covers both current realities, Azerbaijan's development indicators achieved over the past five years, its current international position, as well as the expectations of the state and government," Rafiyev noted.
By joining the cooperation framework, Azerbaijan aims to support the UN's objectives in expanding the green economy and promoting social inclusivity. Rafiyev stated that, in coordination with the UN and other international partners, Azerbaijan is committed to building a more just, stable, and development-oriented society based on the principle of “leaving no one behind.”
Rafiyev also affirmed Azerbaijan's belief in multilateral diplomacy, citing the COP29 climate conference as evidence that effective outcomes can be achieved despite global challenges. He highlighted Azerbaijan's special focus on its cooperation with the UN.
