FM Bayramov underlined that the Republic of Azerbaijan’s growing influence and leadership on the global stage are further strengthened by its contributions to the UN’s core initiatives. In this context, he highlighted Azerbaijan’s chairmanship of the Non-Aligned Movement in 2019–2023, its hosting of the Global Forum of the Alliance of Civilizations in 2016, and the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29) in 2024.

Minister Bayramov stressed that Azerbaijan fully aligns with the UN’s Global Agenda, attaching particular importance to advancing the Sustainable Development Goals, promoting digital innovation, enhancing the rights and opportunities of women and youth, pursuing humanitarian initiatives, and fostering intercultural dialogue. He added that the implementation of the Azerbaijan–UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework for 2021–2025 has been successfully completed, and the new document signed today for 2026–2030 will mark the beginning of a new phase in Azerbaijan–UN partnership.
The minister also spoke about the large-scale restoration and reconstruction efforts in the liberated territories following the restoration of Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity, as well as the country’s consistent efforts to foster stability and cooperation in the South Caucasus. He noted that the Joint Declaration signed in Washington on August 8 this year, along with other historic agreements reached, represents an important stage in advancing the peace process in the region.
In conclusion, FM Bayramov called for strengthening the partnership, exploring new areas of cooperation, and intensifying joint efforts to build a more peaceful, just, and sustainable world.
