President Ilham Aliyev: Relations between friendly and brotherly Azerbaijan and Kyrgyzstan have reached a qualitatively new level
Baku, April 20, AZERTAC
“Today, during the official visit of the President of Kyrgyzstan to Azerbaijan, we reviewed a wide range of bilateral cooperation and took a thorough look at the issues on the agenda of our cooperation. We have expressed our determination to step up our relations both in private and in the presence of delegations,” said President Ilham Aliyev as he made a press statement following his one-on-one and expanded meeting with Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov.
“We are friendly and brotherly states. Today, our relations have reached a qualitatively new level. Ten documents have been signed, and I would like to emphasize two of them – the Declaration on Strategic Partnership and the Memorandum on the establishment of the Interstate Council. Both documents will predetermine the nature and form of our relations. Strategic partnership is a high level of interaction and motivates us for strategic cooperation. Within the framework of the Interstate Council, we will discuss the issues on the bilateral agenda, as well as regional and international issues, more effectively and actively on a regular basis,” President Ilham Aliyev said.
“As for the international arena, I must say that Kyrgyzstan and Azerbaijan traditionally always support each other in all international organizations. We are grateful to Kyrgyzstan for its support of extending Azerbaijan's chairmanship in the Non-Aligned Movement. We always support each other within the UN, the OSCE, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, the Organization of Turkish States, and ECO,” the head of state emphasized.
