Алиев в доме №10. Азербайджанский и британский лидеры обсудили двусторонние и региональные вопросы. Обе стороны видят много пользы в текущих отношениях.

Президент Азербайджана Ильхам Алиев вчера побывал на Даунинг Стрит 10 на встрече с премьер-министром Великобритании Дэвидом Кэмероном. В центре внимания были вопросы двусторонних отношений, а также региональные и международные вопросы.

Сайт президента Азербайджана сообщает, что лидеры двух стран высоко оценили нынешнее состояние отношений между двумя странами. Также сообщается, что "между Соединенным Королевством и Азербайджаном существует успешное сотрудничество в ряде областей, в том числе энергетическом и нефтяном секторах, и перспективы этих связей велики."

Политический редактор Commonspace.eu в своем комментарии сообщает, что "История отношении между Великобританией и Азербайджаном уходит далеко в прошлое, и обе стороны видят много пользы в них, в том числе за счёт больших британских инвестиций в азербайджанскую углеводородную отрасль. Политические отношения между странами также являются хорошими, но могли бы быть лучше. За последний год было несколько штаммов в отношениях после интенсивной критики в британских СМИ прав человека в Азербайджане. Однако, оба правительства старались не превращать это в большой вопрос. Нет сомнений, что Великобритания хочет видеть больше приверженности со стороны азербайджанского правительства в отношении реформ. Британское правительство все еще надеется, что президент Алиев лично возглавит этот процесс, несмотря на некоторое сопротивление в его правительстве. Со своей стороны, Азербайджан не устраивает британская поддержка своей позиции по карабахскому конфликту и хочет видеть больше британского участия в процессе урегулирования конфликта. Оба вопроса были затронуты на вчерашней встрече на Даунинг Стрит."

Borrell tells the European Parliament that the situation in Afghanistan was critical, but the EU will remain engaged

Turkiye to host COP31 in 2026

A consensus has emerged during COP 30, currently being held in Belan, Brazil, that COP 31 will be held in the Turkish city of Antalya, in 2026. In 2026 Turkiye will host another global event, the NATO leaders summit. Turkiye is set to host COP31 after reaching compromise with Australia.  The COP31 climate meeting is now expected to be held in Turkey after Australia dropped its bid to host the annual event. Under the UN rules, the right to host the COP in 2026 falls to a group of countries made up of Western Europe, Australia and others. A consensus must be reached but neither country had been willing to concede. Australia has now agreed to support the Turkish bid in return for their minister chairing the talks following negotiations at COP30, currently being held in Brazil. This unusual arrangement has taken observers by surprise. It is normal for a COP president to be from the host country and how this new partnership will work in practice remains to be seen. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has called the compromise with Turkey an "outstanding result" in an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), noting Pacific issues would be "front and centre". He added that he had spoken to Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape and Prime Minister Rabuka of Fiji. There will be relief among countries currently meeting at COP30 in the Brazilian city of Belém that a compromise has been reached as the lack of agreement on the venue was becoming an embarrassment for the UN.
