Azerbaijani leader submits new proposal to NAM member states

"This year, the Member States of the Movement unanimously decided to extend Azerbaijan’s chairmanship for one more year until late 2023. We highly appreciate this as the sign of recognition of Azerbaijan’s successful and effective steering of the Movement,” President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said at High-Level Commemorative Meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement in video format, Report informs.

"Azerbaijan will continue to work towards further strengthening the solidarity within the NAM and uplifting the Movement’s political weight and global visibility. We have suggested convening a high-level meeting of the NAM Member States to exchange views and formulate the position of the Movement concerning the post-COVID-19 period. It would be rational for the NAM to advocate for the creation of a UN High-Level Panel on Global Recovery from the Covid-19. Azerbaijani chairmanship takes steps to develop cooperation among parliamentarians of the NAM Member States. A week ago, the chairmanship inaugurated the NAM Youth Network. I suggest that the NAM Member States think about the idea of NAM’s institutionalization. Azerbaijan, in its capacity as the chair, will hold consultations to collect views of the NAM Member States to this end,” the head of state said.
