March 2, Fineko/abc.az. Azerbaijan is currently considering the possibility of establishing a special national Sustainable Development Goal.

ABC.AZ reports that Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev stated about this on 2 March during his speech at the Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement Contact Group on Combating COVID-19 in Baku.

 “Azerbaijan sees a direct link between the Sustainable Development Goals and the demining process, because mines slow down the process of restoring liberated territories and return of former IDPs there. Azerbaijan is actively promoting the initiative to launch the 18th SDG on mine clearance. We invite the NAM countries to support this initiative,” President Aliyev said.
