Mr. Henick said that the visit which was originally scheduled for 27-28 November, was delayed to mid-December due to a busy schedule.
Lowenkron is responsible for issues relating to democracy, human rights and labor. He plans to consider these issues in Baku with the Azerbaijani governmental officials.
