The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the Republic of Azerbaijan have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) worth US$5 billion aimed at supporting demining operations in the Nagorno-Karabakh region.

The MoU was signed by Mohammed Murad Al Blooshi, the UAE Ambassador to Azerbaijan, and Vugar Suleymanov, Chairman of the Board of the Mine Action Agency of Azerbaijan (ANAMA).

This collaborative initiative will focus on clearing landmines in Nagorno-Karabakh, an area severely impacted by the aftermath of the 2020 conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia.

The UAE has previously contributed to demining efforts in several countries, including Iraq, Lebanon, and Afghanistan, through financial support for demining projects and the rehabilitation of affected regions.

The UAE’s partnership with Azerbaijan in demining efforts is part of its broader goal to foster impactful, sustainable partnerships that promote humanitarian security and global sustainability.
