Azerbaijan was unanimously elected as the new member of the Developing Eight, marking the organization’s first expansion since its founding.
At the 11th D-8 Summit in Cairo, Egypt, Azerbaijan was unanimously elected as a member of the Developing Eight Organization for Economic Cooperation (D-8), on December 19. This marks the first expansion of the D-8 since its founding.
This achievement reflects the successful foreign policy of President Ilham Aliyev. Azerbaijan first participated in the D-8 Summit as a special guest in Istanbul in 2017, and the delegation at the Cairo Summit was led by Prime Minister Ali Asadov.
Azerbaijan’s membership highlights its growing international influence and the trust it has earned globally. The D-8, which includes eight Muslim-majority countries with significant economic potential, provides a platform for cooperation in trade, transport, communication, and other vital sectors.
As a member, Azerbaijan will contribute to the D-8's goals of fostering security, stability, and prosperity while promoting Islamic solidarity and combating Islamophobia.
The organization, founded in 1997 with its secretariat in Istanbul, now includes Bangladesh, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Egypt, Nigeria, Pakistan, Türkiye, and Azerbaijan.
