Azerbaijan’s delegation is also taking part in the COP31 Leaders’ Summit being held in Turkey. President Ilham Aliyev, First Lady Mehriban Aliyeva and Leyla Aliyeva are also attending the event.
MP Hikmet Babaoglu, speaking to Globalinfo.az, said COP events are of great importance for discussing global climate problems and identifying ways to solve them:
“These events, organised to eliminate the consequences of global climate change and prevent such problems in the future, are being held for the 31st time in brotherly Turkey. Azerbaijan hosted the 29th COP event. First of all, it should be noted that Azerbaijan is one of the leading countries taking serious steps to eliminate the factors causing climate change and striving to fulfil COP’s requirements. Indeed, within COP31 an agreement was signed between Azerbaijan, Turkey, Georgia and Bulgaria on green energy exchange and on eliminating energy sources that harm the environment.”

The MP noted that Ilham Aliyev is attending COP31, in effect, with the experience gained within COP29:
“The Turkish side also states that the brotherly country is drawing on the experience of COP29. Indeed, COP29 held in Azerbaijan is remembered in the history of climate conferences for applying special methods of struggle and mobilising the maximum amount of financial resources in this direction. Therefore I believe that the President of Azerbaijan is a welcome guest in the brotherly country. Overall, Azerbaijan is a country with special experience in organising and holding COP events.”
Recall that COP29 was held in Baku on 11–22 November 2024.
