The state visit of Russian President Vladimir Putin to Azerbaijan is of exceptional importance for bilateral relations, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev stated during a meeting. "Today, we have already exchanged views and expressed satisfaction with how relations between our countries are developing - relations between friends, neighbors, and allies. In all areas, we see positive dynamics.
The composition of our delegations speaks volumes. There are indeed many topics for discussion and interaction, and the scope of our mutual activities is expanding year by year. We are committed to strengthening our cooperation in all areas, and I am confident that your visit will be another important step in bringing our countries and peoples closer together," Aliyev noted.
