Baku. 26 October. REPORT.AZ/ "Milli Majlis of Azerbaijan is taking steps to improve the legislative framework. Azerbaijan has amended the laws to achieve its Sustainable Development Goals. As the state budget is socially oriented, it creates conditions to achieve these goals, Deputy Chairman of the Azerbaijani Parliament Bahar Muradova said.

Report informs that Bahar Muradova was speaking in an interactive discussion on the role of youth, women, parliament, civil society and other stakeholders in the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals within the 6th Baku International Humanitarian Forum.

She noted that every year special attention is paid to the allocation of funds from the budget for the protection of the rights of vulnerable groups in society.
