ready to act as a mediator and initiator of dialogue on a range of
important international issues, the country’s Deputy Foreign

Youth Week event in Baku, Trend reports.
“We have already hosted meetings of representatives of various
countries and political groups to discuss problems and seek
possible solutions,” Rafiyev said.

neighborliness, contributes to strengthening Islamic solidarity,
while being part of European civilization, and consistently
promotes a policy of non-alignment.
