Baku: A Mexican representative expressed gratitude on behalf of the Mexican government for Azerbaijan's organization of the 13th session of the World Urban Forum (WUF13) at a high level. This statement was made during the ministers' meeting within the WUF13 framework, APA reports.

According to Azeri-Press News Agency, the representative conveyed confidence that the initiatives and proposals introduced during the forum would see future implementation. Emphasizing sustainable development, the Mexican representative underscored the importance of inclusivity and centralizing people in decision-making processes.

A key point highlighted was the principle of 'leaving no one behind,' which was advocated as the primary approach toward sustainable development. The discussion also touched on the critical need to prioritize the right to housing within state policies.

The Mexican representative outlined two predominant international perspectives on the right to housing. The first approach views housing as a fundamental human right, with states responsible for its assurance. Furthermore, the representative emphasized that structural inequalities should not hinder people's access to rights and opportunities, urging state policies to focus on overcoming these barriers.
