Ulvi Mehdiyev, Chairman of the State Agency for Public Service and Social Innovations under the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, delivered a speech at a panel session titled “Overcoming Bureaucratic Obstacles, Achieving Real Results – The Path to Zero Bureaucracy” within the framework of the World Governments Summit. He noted that public service reforms in our country are built upon the “ASAN xidmət” model, established in 2012 on the initiative of the President of Azerbaijan. This model serves to reduce bureaucracy, ensure transparency, and guarantee citizen satisfaction. It was also brought to the attention of the audience that “ASAN xidmət” is recognized as a reliable and applicable model both at the local and international levels, delivering effective results with high citizen satisfaction today.
On the second day of the Summit, the Chairman of the State Agency also spoke at a roundtable discussion titled “Shaping the Future of Human Resources in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.” It was emphasized that artificial intelligence should be used as a strategic tool to increase the efficiency of public servants, strengthen decision-making processes, and improve service quality. High-level officials from more than 15 countries spoke at the roundtable.
