Discussing the extensive reforms underway in Azerbaijan’s prosecution system, Aliyev highlighted the role of the prosecution in combating crime and the importance of international cooperation in this field. He stressed the significance of experience exchange and bilateral visits among prosecution staff.

Kamran Aliyev underscored the historical importance of hosting COP29, the 29th Annual Conference of the IAP, and the General Assembly in Azerbaijan, noting that these international events provide a favorable platform for the comprehensive development of intergovernmental relations.

He later invited his Uzbek counterpart, Nigmatulla Yuldashev, to the High-Level Plenary Session on "Mobilizing Law Enforcement in the Fight Against Climate Change," organized by the Prosecutor General's Office and the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, scheduled for November 15 in Baku.
