Interest in strengthening cooperation with BRICS meets the fundamental national interests of Azerbaijan.

“First of all, the interest in strengthening cooperation with BRICS meets the fundamental national interests of our country and organically fits into the consistent course of official Baku towards the formation of a fair world order and the creation of equal opportunities for development for all states. On the one hand, Azerbaijan stands for increasing the authority of the UN , its role and effectiveness as a universal organization designed to play a central coordinating role in international relations, and on the other hand, shares the ideology of a multipolar world, the formation of a world order free of double standards and excluding the creation of dividing lines,” he said.
