Azerbaijan enjoys big opportunities to share knowledge,experience
By Aynur Jafarova
Azerbaijan is in an exciting period of its history, with big opportunities to share knowledge and experience, and thereby support other countries to achieve their development goals.
This remark was made by UN Development Program (UNDP)
Administrator Helen Clark at a roundtable titled 'From Millennium
Development Goals to the new priorities of global development' held
as part of the fourth Baku International Humanitarian Forum on
October 3.
She said UNDP stands ready to work with Azerbaijan in these
efforts.
The priorities of the new UN-Azerbaijan Partnership Framework for
2016-2020 will focus on promoting sustainable employment and
building local capacities to advance human development.
"The future success of Azerbaijan is closely linked to the state of
the global economy and global ecosystems, and to peace and security
in our world," Clark added.
She went on to note that the countries need economies which
generate jobs and opportunities, especially for today's large youth
generation.
Baku International Humanitarian Forum, initiated in 2010 by President Aliyev and former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, is a high-profile global scientific and political platform for tackling the challenges facing humanity in the 21st century, holding dialogue, discussions and exchange of views on a wide range of issues of humanitarian cooperation.
Well-known politicians, representatives of the socio-political circles, scholars and figures of culture are attending the two-day forum. Within the framework of the forum, the participants will make tours to Azerbaijan's regions, particularly to Nakhchivan, Lankaran, Guba and Gabala on October 4-5.
