He also briefed participants on recent progress in the Azerbaijan-Armenia normalisation agenda and the large-scale restoration and reconstruction work underway in the country’s liberated territories.
As a former chair and current Troika member of the Movement, Azerbaijan also participated in the NAM Palestine Ministers Committee session. Sharifov referenced President Ilham Aliyev’s participation in the Sharm El-Sheikh Peace Summit on 13 October, underlining Azerbaijan’s role as one of the few NAM members invited and emphasising the importance of rapid, sustainable peace and security in the Middle East, along with the country’s ongoing humanitarian initiatives in the region.
