The forum also aroused great interest in the international media. More than 1000 accredited media representatives covered WUF13, conveying the importance of sustainable urbanization and international cooperation to the world community.
Modern.az reports that Anar Guliyev, Chairman of the State Committee for Urban Planning and Architecture, national coordinator for WUF13, said this at the official closing ceremony of the 13th session of the World Urban Forum (WUF13) held in Baku.
He noted that another important legacy of WUF13 was the signing of a letter of intent on the application of Baku operational efficiency standards for countries that will host future World Urban Forums.
“Dear participants, now I sincerely welcome Mexico to the WUF family. We believe that you felt at home during your stay in Baku. We are ready to share our experience regarding the preparation process of WUF14,” the national coordinator added.
