Gratitude was expressed for Bahrain’s support for the Parliamentary Network established within the framework of Azerbaijan’s chairmanship of the Non-Aligned Movement, as well as for the successful organization of the 2nd meeting of the Parliamentary Network in Manama.
The counterpart was informed in detail about the current situation in the region in the post-conflict period, the large-scale restoration and reconstruction works carried out by Azerbaijan in the territories liberated from occupation, efforts to combat the mine threat that poses a danger to these activities, as well as the Azerbaijan–Armenia normalization process.
