become the global host of World Environment Day in 2026. This is an
important event that Azerbaijan has approached with initiative. The
whole world will turn its eyes to Azerbaijan to host this
significant event on June 5, 2026. This is a great initiative and
we are very pleased about it.
Besides, we are very pleased to participate in several joint

Azerbaijan on electric mobility, supporting its efforts on climate
issues, and focusing on climate and weather response systems and

visit to Shirvan National Park was just one example of the
