“We are pleased to see the outstanding progress achieved by Azerbaijan over the past 10-15 years,” Serageldin said. “This is noticeable not only in terms of the country’s excellently developing infrastructure, but also in terms of the truly large-scale development of several sectors of the economy at once.”

Speaking about the importance of Azerbaijan’s contribution to the world culture, he noted that Azerbaijan has given the world many great personalities, the memory of which is still being cherished.

“Being the co-chair of the Nizami Ganjavi International Center, I can say that I am proud of the preservation of the heritage of the great Azerbaijani poet Nizami Ganjavi, who already in the 12th century generated progressive ideas that remained topical until the present day,” Serageldin said.

He added that the Global Baku Forum, which was held in Azerbaijan for the sixth time, is an event of great importance, a symbol of openness, cooperation, friendship among nations, which is evidenced by the annually increasing number of presidents and prime ministers from many countries among the forum’s participants.
