“Since 2019, Azerbaijan, on the basis of a unanimous decision of the member countries, presides in the non -alignment movement, which is the largest international structure after the UN. Our presidency was again extended – another year, until the end of 2023, also on the basis of a unanimous decision.” This, in particular, said President Ilham Aliyev, speaking at the 6th summit of the meeting on the interaction and confidence measures in Asia in Astana.
“We are making great efforts to strengthen solidarity within the non -alignment movement, increase its political weight and global influence. Azerbaijan is actively promoting the idea of developing movement for this purpose. In this connection, we should mention the parliamentary network and youth organization of the non -alignment movement created on the initiative of Azerbaijan . We proposed a meeting of a high level of member states of the non-alignment movement next year in order to exchange opinions about the world after the Covid-19 and formulate the position of movement, ”the head of state said.
