"Parliamentary organizations such as the European Parliament and the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe should not become a playground for the interests of certain groups, an instrument of pressure and double standards," said Speaker of the Milli Majlis Sahiba Gafarova in her speech at the plenary session of the 10th BRICS Parliamentary Forum on 11 July, APA reports.
The chairman of the Milli Majlis emphasized that parliamentary organizations should promote genuine dialogue and cooperation.
Sahiba Gafarova said that ensuring the efficiency of the international system requires the establishment of fair relations based on mutual benefit, mutual respect and strengthening of true multilateralism. Guided by these principles in its foreign policy, Azerbaijan promotes dialogue, cooperation and solidarity both in its bilateral relations and in multilateral formats.
According to her, these principles are also action priorities for BRICS: "Azerbaijan has already expressed its desire to join BRICS."
It was pointed out that strengthening cooperation in this context will serve our common goals.
