The World Bank and the Azerbaijani State Committee for Affairs of Refugees and IDPs have jointly implemented credit projects worth nearly $170 million during their cooperation, Azerbaijan's Deputy Prime Minister Ali Hasanov, who also chairs the State Committee, said at the event held in Baku to mark the 25th anniversary of cooperation between Azerbaijan and the World Bank.
Hasanov noted that these projects were aimed at creating infrastructure for refugees and IDPs, strengthening the existing potential in this sphere as well as developing other areas.
"At the same time, I should note that the World Bank, in turn, benefited from the systems and mechanism created by Heydar Aliyev and Ilham Aliyev in dealing with the problems of refugees and IDPs in Azerbaijan and applied the Azerbaijani model in other countries as well,” Ali Hasanov stressed.
