Iran FM, Azerbaijan president discuss ties, regional issues
Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev and Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian have discussed mutual relations and leading regional and international issues.
The meeting between Amir-Abdollahian and Aliyev took place in Azerbaijan’s capital of Baku on Tuesday on the sidelines of the Ministerial Meeting of the Coordinating Bureau of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM).
With its main theme “NAM: United and steadfast in confronting emerging challenges,” the meeting opened earlier in the day with the inaugural speech by the Azerbaijani president.
The top Iranian diplomat is in Baku at the head of a delegation to deliver a speech at the NAM meeting. He is also scheduled to attend the NAM Ministerial Committee on Palestine.
It is expected that the meeting will consider preparations for the upcoming 19th Summit Conference of the NAM Heads of State and Government, slated to be held in Kampala, Uganda, on January 15-20, 2024.
The meeting will review the movement’s principled positions on global issues pertaining to development, human rights, peace and security, and the promotion and preservation of multilateralism, in line with the Charter of the United Nations and the Bandung Founding Principles of the NAM.
With its 120 member states, the NAM is the largest grouping of countries outside of the UN, making it an important role player in global and multilateral affairs.
