Azerbaijani President: Strengthening Islamic solidarity is one of the key priorities of our foreign policy
Baku, May 31, AZERTAC
“Azerbaijan supports decisions and resolutions promoting the interests of all Muslim countries in international organizations, and was the initiator of many of them. The Organization of Islamic Cooperation rightly appreciates Azerbaijan’s contributions in this regard. The organization has repeatedly stated that Azerbaijan plays a crucial role in ensuring the Islamic solidarity. Strengthening the Islamic solidarity is one of the key priority issues of our foreign policy,” said President Ilham Aliyev as he met with ambassadors and heads of diplomatic missions of Muslim countries to Azerbaijan.
“We are an active member of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. As you know, last year was declared the “Year of Islamic Solidarity” in Azerbaijan. The 4th Islamic Solidarity Games were held in Baku with the participation of your countries. These Games were not only a sporting competition, but also a demonstration of the unity of the Islamic world, and we should try to ensure the unity of the Islamic world," the head of state said.
