UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has sent a letter to President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, Ednews informs referring to Azertac.

"His Excellency Mr. Ilham Aliyev, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan

Congratulations on this 11th Meeting of the Global Baku Forum.

This forum comes at an important time. Baku hosts COP29 in November, where the eyes of the world will be on Azerbaijan as never before. I know you will rise to the challenge and deliver an excellent event with typical hospitality.

The Global Stocktake at COP28 in Dubai demonstrated the need for urgent action. This year, attention will be on Azerbaijan to turn the ambitious commitments we agreed into action. Together we must drive forward energy transitions and reduce global emissions, by phasing out fossil fuels and accelerating the phase-out of unabated coal power. We must also continue to improve climate resilience for vulnerable countries. As a fellow producer of oil and gas, the UK understands the need to chart the course for a just energy transition that secures the future of our people and our planet, respecting the Paris commitment to limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees.
