On November 17, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev met with the U.S. delegation led by August Pfluger, a member of the House of Representatives.
The head of state said that COP29 was a success, noting that although the negotiations on Article 6 of the Paris Agreement have been held for more than 10 years, significant progress in this regard was made on the first day of COP29. President Ilham Aliyev noted that COP29 was dedicated to finance, and a new climate finance target was expected to be defined. The Azerbaijani leader pointed out that the international community is also waiting for that. The President of Azerbaijan described the climate finance statements by international financial and banking institutions as a reassuring step in this direction.
