A delegation of the Pan-African Parliament (PAP), led by President H.E. Dr Fateh Boutbig, toured the Milli Majlis, the Parliament of the Republic of Azerbaijan, during an official visit to the country. The tour was led by the Speaker of the Milli Majlis, H.E. Mrs Sahiba Gafarova.
The delegation was briefed on the functioning and key aspects of the Milli Majlis. According to the Speaker, the chamber is made up of 125 deputies.
The Milli Majlis is a unicameral legislature. It was first established on 28 May 1918 as the National Assembly, after the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic declared its independence. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, it was re-established on 26 November 1991 by a decision of the Conciliatory Commission of the Supreme Soviet of Azerbaijan.
The visit took place as Dr Boutbig undertook an official visit to Azerbaijan from 16 to 18 September 2026, at the invitation of Speaker Gafarova.
