Nobel Laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus was invited to the Baku Forum XI in Baku, Azerbaijan as a distinguished speaker from March 14-16-2024. The Secretary General of the Nizami Ganjavi International Centre (NGIC), that organizes the Baku Forum, Mr Rovshan Muradov sent an email to Yunus Centre informing that in addition to addressing the Conference, Professor Yunus would receive an award from UNESCO on  the closing day of the conference (copy attached).

The official program of the Baku Forum sent by NGIC to Yunus Centre also mentioned that Professor Yunus would receive an award from UNESCO (copy attached).  During the closing dinner of Baku Forum, Professor Yunus was specifically reminded to attend the event to receive Tree of Peace award onstage on 16 March (mp4 video file attached). Yunus Centre thus mentioned the award by UNESCO in its press release. The Tree of Peace presented to Professor Yunus is the same sculpture by the same artist as was presented in 2014 to the Honorable Prime Minister. 

On a previous visit to UNESCO headquarters on June 2023 Professor Yunus signed a Partnership Agreement between UNESCO and Yunus Sports Hub, an international organization founded by Professor Muhammad Yunus, to drive sustainable development through sport in the context of UNESCO's Fit for Life flagship.
