Under the leadership of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, Azerbaijan continues to accelerate its economic development and modernization agenda - not only in its capital, Baku, but throughout the country’s regions. This balanced approach to national progress reflects a long-term vision to build an economically diverse, socially inclusive, and infrastructure-rich Azerbaijan.

A powerful example of this strategy in action was witnessed on August 20, as President Ilham Aliyev and First Lady Mehriban Aliyeva visited Ganja, Azerbaijan’s second-largest city. Their visit was more than a ceremonial tour—it was a comprehensive review of strategic investments, infrastructure upgrades, industrial projects, and cultural restoration efforts, all aimed at transforming Ganja into a vibrant regional hub.

Urban transformation: Laying the groundwork for a modern Ganja

The President and First Lady began their visit by laying flowers at the monument of National Leader Heydar Aliyev, honoring the legacy that laid the foundations for Azerbaijan’s statehood and development. They were then briefed on the city's broad urban renewal program - an ambitious effort involving the repaving of over 120 streets, the restoration of 637 building facades, and roofing replacements for more than 1,100 structures.
