Azerbaijan's Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov emphasized the severe impact of conflicts on global climate challenges during his address at COP29 in Baku, marking the Day of Peace, Relief, and Recovery, Azernews reports.

He stressed that the externalities of conflict exacerbate global climate problems and highlighted Azerbaijan’s commitment to uniting nations around practical solutions.

“One of the main logics of the COP29 presidency is to bring together all parties on this issue,” Bayramov stated and underscored Azerbaijan’s collaborative approach.

“We are preparing solution-oriented ways out with different countries. Therefore, I thank the partners for believing and trusting Azerbaijan. Time cannot be wasted. It is necessary to turn the statements into concrete actions,” he concluded.
