"The development of the Western provinces of your country recovered in 2020 is rightly a major goal for your nation," noted in a letter addressed by Boris Johnson, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev regarding the IX Global Baku Forum on "Threats to the Global Order" held on June 16, APA reports.
"There are opportunities for these provinces to emerge as centres for cultural exchange, green technology and innovation. But post-conflict contamination remains a barrier. Landmines and other munitions have scarred these provinces. I am delighted that British mine clearance experts and companies are working alongside Azerbaijani colleagues to remove the threat. It would be a great step towards reconciliation and the successful resettlement of those lands – and would show regional leadership – for Azerbaijan to commit to lay no new landmines, and signartue of the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Treaty," said Prime Minister.
