Ilham Aliyev received Libyan Prime Minister Fayez Seraj

President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev has received Prime Minister of Libya Fayez al-Sarraj.

Speaking at the meeting, President Ilham Aliyev said:

- Dear Prime Minister. Once again, I welcome you to Azerbaijan. You are welcome. Your activities at the Non-Aligned Movement Summit are very much appreciated. Thank you for being in Azerbaijan today.

Azerbaijan has already started its chairmanship of the Non-Aligned Movement. We are very pleased that our election as the chairing country took place on the basis of a unanimous decision of member-countries. This is a testament to the great confidence and support of our policies by member-states. During our chairmanship of the Non-Aligned Movement, Azerbaijan will uphold the basic principles of this important political institution. Independence, territorial integrity of countries and inviolability of borders form the basis of the Bandung principles and are fundamental principles of our policy.

I am sure that these principles will be reflected in the final declaration to be adopted today and note the role of Azerbaijan in this institution.

At the same time, your participation in this Summit creates a good opportunity for us to consider the bilateral agenda and give an impetus to bilateral relations. Welcome again!
