“Azerbaijan and China enjoy a comprehensive strategic partnership. Azerbaijan participates in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization as a dialogue partner and supports this initiative. This is an important issue for many of us, especially for those coming from developing environments. Our country knows well what it means to respect international law, because Azerbaijan has long suffered from its violations,” said Azerbaijan’s Minister of Economy Mikayil Jabbarov during a panel discussion on “China and Global Governance Initiative” held on the sidelines of the second day of the Global Baku Forum.

“Peace and stability have been achieved in our region, and borders have been opened after more than 35 years. This has also been possible thanks to the ongoing negotiations between Armenia and Azerbaijan. In this regard, the Central Corridor is one of the key priorities of our shared policy, connecting Central Asia and the South Caucasus within a unified transport and cooperation framework,” the minister added.
