Current events in the region and the world prove the necessity of increasing cooperation in combating the current challenges.

APA reports that Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov said these words at the international conference on "Along the Middle Corridor: Geopolitics, Security and Economy".

According to him, as one of the main transit countries along the International East-West Middle Corridor, it is one of the main priorities of Azerbaijan to ensure the security and reliability of transit operations against the background of events that continue to create the risk of disruption of the supply chain.

Azerbaijan is taking practical steps in the direction of opening communications in the region in accordance with the relevant clause of the Tripartite Statement dated November 10, 2020.

In this regard, it is necessary to fulfill obligations on the opening of the Zangezur corridor.

This can make an important contribution to the use of the full potential of the region, as well as to the peace-building process," said Jeyhun Bayramov.
