International Social Forum to be held in Baku
The capital of Azerbaijan on October 22-23 is to host the International Forum on "E-Services in the field of social protection: the quality and scale." According to the report of the State Social Protection Fund (SSPF), the decision to hold the event was made, taking into account the experience of the State Fund for the provision of public electronic services.
Holding the event was also discussed during the meeting of the Steering Committee (SC) of the European Network of the International Social Security Association (ISSA) in Geneva on 2-3 September.
Azerbaijan in 2007 became a member of the Steering Committee of the European Network of ISSA in 2013, re-elected to the committee members. In June 2011, the Coordination Center for the Eurasian Region opened in Baku. --17D-
