BAKU: I express my gratitude to Azerbaijan for creating sustainable solutions to demining issues, EU Ambassador to Azerbaijan Peter Michalko said, Trend reports.
He made the statement during a panel discussion on “Creating National Skills for Sustainable Environmental Remediation” at the conference “Mitigating Environmental Impact of Landmines: Resource Mobilization for Safe and Green Future”.
Michalko emphasized the EU’s focus on cooperation on climate change.
‘Speaking about mines, we have to understand the damage they cause to the environment. There have been very tragic mine-related events in Azerbaijan, the consequences of which will linger for a long time.
Yesterday, while in Karabakh, we familiarized ourselves with the reconstruction and construction works carried out. For these works to be carried out, the demining process must be carried out first. Azerbaijan is successfully doing this.
The European Union has always supported Azerbaijan’s efforts,’ he added.
To note, the second day of the tradi
tional international humanitarian conference on demining is being held in Baku under the joint organization of the Agency of the Republic of Azerbaijan for Mine Action (ANAMA) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
The theme of the III International Humanitarian Demining Conference, held on May 30-31, this year, is “Mitigating Environmental Impact of Landmines: Resource Mobilization for Safe and Green Future”.
