Azerbaijan is described as a country actively normalizing diplomatic relations with Russia, following tensions after the 2024 Azerbaijan Airlines plane crash. It has hosted international sporting events such as the 2026 FIFA U15 World Cup and is involved in regional infrastructure projects like the 'North-South' transport corridor. The country also engages in foreign policy initiatives, including calls for peaceful conflict resolution on Ukraine and efforts to promote cultural heritage through UNESCO.
