Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) — As part of the 150th Jubilee Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union, the Parliament of Azerbaijan organized the fourth conference of the Parliamentary Network of the Non-Aligned Movement.

The conference was attended by Sahiba Gafarova, Speaker of the Milli Majlis of the Republic of Azerbaijan; Tanzila Narbaeva, Speaker of the Senate of the Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan; President of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) Duarte Pacheco; IPU Secretary-General Martin Chungong; and representatives from the parliaments of Non-Aligned Movement member countries.
