The Deputy Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, Olena Kondratiuk, spoke with the journalists of the local publication APA.AZ about the results of the official visit to the Republic of Azerbaijan and participation in the sixth International Forum of Intercultural Dialogue.
The Vice-Speaker emphasized that the most important issue for Ukraine now is the achievement of a just peace and the creation of a broad coalition of countries that are its supporters.
“We call on states from all continents to join this coalition. This appeal is particularly relevant to the Muslim world. Ukraine invites Muslim countries to participate in the Peace Summit, which will be held on June 16 this year in Switzerland,” Olena Kondratiuk noted.
Also, the Deputy Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine stated that during her visit to Baku, during meetings with the leadership of the Parliament of the Republic of Azerbaijan and with the ministers of the country, in her speech at the Forum, she invited Azerbaijan on behalf of Ukraine to participate in this Summit at the highest level.
“This Summit is related to issues of peace, justice and security. These are the topics, challenges and values that are very close to our Azerbaijani colleagues. Azerbaijan is a strategic partner of Ukraine. That is why official Baku's participation in this Summit is very important for us,” emphasized Olena Kondratiuk.
