Hajiyev highlighted that BRICS serves as an institution supporting pluralism and the democratization of the international relations system.
“We believe that BRICS countries, committed to international law, the principles of territorial integrity, sovereignty, and non-interference in each other’s internal affairs, support mutually beneficial relations between states and prevent the monopolization of the political agenda by a single group of countries. This contributes to improving global governance and developing the international order in a more equitable direction,” he said, adding that the world would be a better place if all countries respected the UN Charter.
He emphasized that BRICS countries have tremendous potential for development. “Each member state has its own comparative advantages, and they should be used for the benefit of all,” said the Azerbaijani president’s assistant.
Hajiyev further noted that Azerbaijan’s aspiration to join BRICS would be a logical continuation of the country’s active and independent foreign policy. He explained that Azerbaijan could bring additional dynamism to BRICS, and membership in the bloc would also reflect Azerbaijan’s strong multilateral relations with BRICS member states.
Thanks to its strategic location, strong statehood, economic potential, and steadfast commitment to international law, Azerbaijan is ready to contribute to a multipolar world in close cooperation with other like-minded countries, Hajiyev concluded.
