President Ilham Aliyev has signed official orders regarding changes in Azerbaijan's diplomatic corps, resulting in the reassignment of Kamil Khasiyev. Khasiyev has been recalled from his position as the Ambassador to Serbia, Montenegro, and North Macedonia, and has been appointed as the new Azerbaijan ambassador to Austria.
Who is the new ambassador to Austria?
Kamil Khasiyev has been appointed as the new Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Azerbaijan to Austria. This diplomatic shift follows his previous tenure representing the country in the Balkans. The appointment is part of a series of official presidential orders aimed at restructuring Azerbaijan's diplomatic representation abroad, ensuring experienced personnel are placed in key European posts to manage bilateral relations and foreign policy objectives.
What changes were made to diplomatic posts?
The recent presidential decrees confirm that Khasiyev is stepping down from his role as the Ambassador to Serbia, a position he had held since July 2021. His mandate in that region also included concurrent representation in Montenegro and North Macedonia. While the government has announced his new assignment in Austria, no immediate successor has been named for the vacant diplomatic posts in the Balkan nations.
