Azertag

Azerbaijan is an active member of the Economic Cooperation Organisation (ECO), and hosting the 17th ECO Summit in the country highlights its growing role and engagement within the organisation.

The decision to hold the summit in Khankendi, the heart of Karabakh, elevates the city’s significance on the international diplomatic stage and draws greater global attention to the region’s development.

Officials said that this event will not only strengthen Azerbaijan’s participation in regional integration processes but also contribute to enhancing its diplomatic and economic standing internationally. On 3-4 July, Khankendi will prepare to welcome the heads of state and government of the ECO for the first time.

The summit represents a key political event and symbolises the revival of a city that has endured decades of challenges.

Spanning a broad geography from South and Central Asia to the Middle East, the ECO unites ten countries and serves as an important platform for economic integration, strategic cooperation, and sustainable development in the region.

Khankendi’s selection as the venue for the upcoming high-level meeting reflects the city’s increasing geopolitical and geoeconomic significance amid new realities.
