The sides hailed the fact that several national urban forums have been held in Azerbaijan so far within the framework of the Azerbaijan-UN-Habitat partnership.
The meeting highlighted the large-scale restoration and reconstruction works carried out in the Karabakh and East Zangezur economic regions of Azerbaijan, as well as a modern model of urban development, which has been applied in the construction of the cities and villages in the liberated territories.
