“Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has been implementing these traditions successfully,” he said.
“The world leaders can gather in Baku, discuss important and topical issues and contribute to the strengthening of the interreligious dialogue in the world,” Cooper said.
He expressed gratitude to the Azerbaijani leadership for excellent organizing the forum and opportunities created to exchange the views on global issues.
