An extensive exchange of views on important items on the international agenda, including the Western Balkans region, the Middle East and North Africa, and the CIS space will take place.

The UN assessment mission to Nagorno-Karabakh

With the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh becoming more stable, comprehensive humanitarian aid has become a priority.

In addition to the efforts undertaken by Baku and Yerevan and assistance coming from other countries, primarily Russia, we believe the involvement of specialised international agencies will be beneficial as well. Currently, the International Committee of the Red Cross is working in Nagorno-Karabakh and contiguous areas. With regard to specialised UN agencies, the UN senior officials remain in contact with Azerbaijan and Armenia and continue to discuss the modalities of sending an integrated assessment mission to Nagorno-Karabakh. We also took note of the efforts by the UN country teams undertaken directly in Azerbaijan and Armenia. We support UN cooperation with Baku and Yerevan on all aspects of humanitarian aid.

In turn, Russia is making a significant contribution to improving the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh. With assistance from Russian specialists and peacekeepers, over 51,400 refugees have returned to their homes since November 14, 2020; Armenia and Azerbaijan have transferred 1,532 bodies to each other; about 750 hectares of terrain and more than 230 km of roads have been cleared of mines, almost 24,000 explosive hazards have been defused; the power supply system has been completely restored, and about 1,300 people have received medical help.
