Baku will host the first meeting of the High-Level Working Group for the Caspian Sea on August 19-20, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry told AzVision.az.

A number of issues arising from the Convention, as well as the results of the Fifth Summit of the Heads of the Caspian littoral States in Aktau, are expected to be discussed at the meeting that will bring together representatives of the Caspian littoral states.
