Azerbaijan to chair GUAM youth forum

"The headquarters of the GUAM Youth Forum will be located in Baku," said Rahimov.

Four post-Soviet republics - Georgia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan and Moldova, established the GUAM format in 1997 during a summit of presidents of European Union countries in Strasburg. In 1999, Uzbekistan joined this format, but after 4 years, quitted. In 2006, the first summit of this format in Kiev decided to declare GUAM an international organization with a new name: "Organization for Democracy and Economic Development - GUAM".

The minister also said that in November to December, it is expected to sign a cooperation agreement with Cuba in the field of youth policy and sports.

"Similar agreements will be also signed with Egypt and Kuwait as well," Rahimov said.
