President of the Islamic Republic of Iran Masoud Pezeshkian has been invited to the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29), which will be held in Azerbaijan in November this year.
As reported by Day.Az on Wednesday, Azerbaijani Prime Minister Ali Asadov today at a meeting with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian conveyed greetings from Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and congratulations on the beginning of his presidential term.
The Prime Minister presented President Masoud Pesheshkian with an invitation letter from President Ilham Aliyev to participate in COP29, which will be held in Azerbaijan in November this year.
Let us recall that in November this year, Azerbaijan will host the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29). The decision to do so was made at the COP28 plenary session held in Dubai on December 11 last year. Over the course of two weeks, Baku, becoming the center of the world, will host about 70-80 thousand foreign guests.
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change is an agreement signed at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in June 1992 to prevent dangerous human interference with the climate system. The abbreviation COP stands for Conference of Parties, which is the highest legislative body overseeing the implementation of the Framework Convention on Climate Change.
The convention has 198 parties. Unless the parties decide otherwise, the COP is held annually. The first COP event took place in March 1995 in Berlin, and its secretariat is located in Bonn.
