Aygun Aliyeva stressed the importance of international support at the meeting as she provided details on the projects carried out by non-governmental organizations in the area of environmental protection with assistance from the Agency. According to her, environmental protection has recently taken on more importance for our country. Thus, the damage done to the flora and fauna in our lands after 30 years of occupation, along with river pollution, led to environmental issues. She stressed the significance of conducting monitoring processes in these locations by various UN specialists in collaboration with local Organizations for this reason.
When extending a warm welcome to the visitors, Ms. Motard stressed the significance of the Agency's actions for environmental protection. She claimed that the UN Environment Programme frequently carries out projects for NGOs. She stressed their willingness to work with NGOs present in Azerbaijan in this regard.

Galib Israfilov welcomed the delegation and noted the significance of local NGOs' participation and activities at the 52nd session of the Human Rights Council. He also noted that many UN organizations take into consideration the work of civil society leaders.
Later on, the Agency's Executive Director, Aygun Aliyeva, stressed that one of the Agency's top priorities is cooperation with UN organizations and other chartered organisations.
She discussed the significance of systematic work for the ongoing engagement of civil society institutions within the context of the events highlighted, as well as the future objectives for enhancing international cooperation.
