(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 18. Kyrgyzstan makes a particular focus on sustainable development of mountainous regions, President of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Zhaparov said during a leaders' summit at the 13th session of the World Urban Forum (WUF13) in Baku, Trend reports.

"As a mountainous country, the Kyrgyz Republic places particular importance on the sustainable development of mountainous regions. Unfortunately, melting glaciers, climate change, population migration, and increasing pressure on ecosystems negatively impact cities located in high-mountain and foothill areas," he noted.

Zhaparov emphasized that the sustainable development of mountain cities requires measures to ensure ecosystem resilience, implement water-saving technologies, environmentally friendly waste management systems, and use energy-efficient and seismic-resistant construction solutions.

WUF13 is taking place in Baku from May 17 to 22 within the framework of cooperation between the UN-Habitat program and the Government of Azerbaijan.
