President: Bringing issue of fighting neocolonialism to international community’s attention through all possible platforms is crucial

“Bringing the issue of fighting neocolonialism to the international community’s attention through all possible platforms is crucial. In this regard, the activities of the 4th Committee of the UN General Assembly and the fight within international organizations should be stepped up. The role of women should be further enhanced, and their struggle on the path of decolonization should be strongly supported,” President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said in a message to the participants of the event on “Decolonization: Empowerment and Development of Women” held in Baku, according to Report.

“Today's conference is a favorable opportunity for discussing the challenges and opportunities on the global agenda in relation to colonialism, its ramifications, and the fight against neocolonialism. I believe that the discussions that will be held within the framework of the conference will contribute to the mobilization of joint efforts in the struggle against colonialism, to the promotion of new ideas and initiatives for the well-being of mankind, and to leaving a “world free from colonialism” for future generations,” Ilham Aliyev said.
