Sharjah 24 – WAM: Saqr Ghobash, Speaker of the Federal National Council (FNC), led the UAE official delegation to the international parliamentary conference celebrating the 30th anniversary of the adoption of Azerbaijan’s Constitution. The conference is hosted by the National Assembly of Azerbaijan at the invitation of its Speaker, Sahiba Gafarova, from 28th to 31st October.

Azerbaijan’s constitutional milestone

In his address, Ghobash said the historic event marks an important milestone in Azerbaijan’s journey, which, thanks to its vision and national will, has been able to build a modern state based on the principles of sovereignty, independence, and sustainable development.

“The constitution, in its essence, is not just a legal text, but an embodiment of the values of nations, an expression of their spirit, and a reference for establishing the principles of citizenship and peace,” he emphasised.

UAE-Azerbaijan relations: A model of cooperation

He highlighted that UAE-Azerbaijan relations represent a model of bonds based on mutual respect and common interests. These relations were recently strengthened by the historic visit of President His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan to Baku last September, which launched a new phase in bilateral cooperation and opened promising opportunities in renewable energy, green economy, digital transformation, and artificial intelligence.

Strategic role in regional connectivity

Ghobash noted that the UAE-Azerbaijan partnership has become a bridge for communication between the Gulf region, the Caucasus, and Central Asia. It represents a successful model of combining political realism with future vision to achieve regional and international security and stability.
