Elina Valtonen

The visit of OSCE Chairperson-in-Office and Finnish Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen to Azerbaijan has been postponed.

Valtonen's visit to Azerbaijan was planned as part of her regional tour of the South Caucasus, originally scheduled for October 13-15.

Valtonen was set to visit Azerbaijan first on October 13.

However, the visit was postponed due to President Ilham Aliyev's invitation to the Middle East Peace Summit, which took place in Egypt on October 13, stated Aykhan Hajizade, official spokesperson for the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry.

Work is currently underway to coordinate a new date for Valtonen's visit to Azerbaijan, he added.

Valtonen visited Armenia on October 14, and her visit to Georgia is scheduled for October 15.
