Azerbaijan’s leadership as COP29 President was praised during high-level meetings in Mexico, where the two countries discussed climate diplomacy and the expansion of bilateral ties.
A delegation headed by Yalchin Rafiyev, Deputy Foreign Minister of the Republic of Azerbaijan and COP29 Lead Negotiator, paid an official visit to the United Mexican States on May 23 to advance climate diplomacy and bilateral relations.
As part of the visit, Rafiyev held meetings with Enrique Ochoa Martínez, Undersecretary for Multilateral Affairs and Human Rights at Mexico’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs; Camila Zepeda, Mexico’s Chief Climate Negotiator; and representatives of the Mexican Council on Foreign Relations (COMEXI), a prominent policy think tank.
In the meeting with Undersecretary Ochoa Martínez, both sides praised the constructive cooperation between Azerbaijan and Mexico within international organizations and multilateral platforms. Rafiyev provided an overview of Azerbaijan’s foreign policy priorities, including ongoing peace efforts with Armenia, and outlined upcoming events under Azerbaijan’s leadership in international forums.
The talks also focused on collaboration in addressing climate change and included a detailed exchange on Azerbaijan’s COP29 Presidency.
During discussions with Camila Zepeda, Mexico’s Chief Climate Negotiator, Azerbaijan’s progress and leadership as the host of COP29 were acknowledged and commended.
At COMEXI, Rafiyev engaged in dialogue on Azerbaijan’s evolving geopolitical role following the 44-day Patriotic War in 2020, the shifting dynamics in the South Caucasus, and the country’s active involvement in international diplomacy.
Participants also explored Azerbaijan’s climate agenda under its COP29 Presidency, with emphasis on the substance of negotiations and progress achieved thus far, which received high praise from Mexican counterparts.
The visit underscored the shared commitment of Azerbaijan and Mexico to global climate action and multilateral cooperation.
